Hi, Gang!
I'm about to buy my first IP, and I've been reviewing the PT article entitled "An Introduction to Taxes in New Zealand"
The article says:
"As a New Zealand tax resident, an individual is liable to tax in New Zealand on their worldwide income.
As a non-resident, an individual is only liable to tax in New Zealand on income sourced from New Zealand."
I was planning on buying this first IP in a joint tenancy arrangement with hubby, but I am left wondering how we can actually retain NZ non-residence for tax if I don't set up a LAQC or trust from the start?
The idea of paying NZ tax on WORLDWIDE income has me sweating!
Thanks for any help!
