"main" home

[alan396]

Hi, hope somebody can help. I'm wanting to sell my only NZ house that I bought 10yrs ago and lived in ,apart from hols, ever since. It meets the NZ definition of main home. My tax status is simple, I just work for my employer paying tax via paye. I still have a house in the UK where my wife lives, she is looking after my mother who is in a home. There is no income from the house. Does my having a UK house affect my tax liability when selling my NZ house? Thanks, Alan.

There should be no NZ tax liability relating to the situation described above. Irrelevant whether you have any other houses anywhere else in the world.
