Afaik if the money is earned here it should be taxed here
However if it easier for you to list it as Australian earnings on an Australian tax return both tax offices will accept that
The modern thinking is that as long as you have paid tax somewhere you're coveredhave you defeated them?

Hi Elliot,
1) The rent is NZ income. So the entity who owns your NZ home would need to return the income and claim any expenses in NZ tax returns. Then pay tax on the profit in NZ.
2) Not my area, and best to talk to Aussi tax advisor. My understanding, if your home is in your personal name, then if you become an Australian Tax resident, then the NZ rental profit would also need to be returned in Aussi, with a credit for any NZ tax paid.

This is not correct. NZ IRD and government want the NZ tax!

Is the tax you are paying in NZ income tax ? (Not FB tax which you would still have to pay even if you lose money )Last edited by Beano; 25-07-2019, 11:45 PM.
