  • Let's be real about a Capital Gains Tax in NZ
    Dec 2 2025

    Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.

    Is a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) actually on the horizon for New Zealand property investors? 🏠🤔

    Paul's tackling the conversation arising from the recent Labour Party conference and answering the big question many of you have been asking: What does this mean for my portfolio?

    He also take a hard look at why the Government struggles to be an effective landlord compared to private investors, and I share some "warning signs" from the UK and Australian markets that we need to pay attention to.

    But it’s not all doom and gloom! The market is moving, and there are massive opportunities right now for investors who can see past the headlines.

    In this video, I cover:
    🔹The CGT: What’s being said and what you need to know.
    🔹 Govt vs. Private Landlords: Why private investors are essential for a healthy rental market.
    🔹 The "Dysfunctional" Property Manager: Why government-run housing often faces conflict.
    🔹 Global Lessons: What we can learn from the tax changes in the UK and Australia.
    🔹 Market Outlook: Why I’m optimistic about the economy moving forward.
