Tax Tips Alert: September 2022

Omnibus Taxation Bill introduced to Parliament

The Government recently introduced the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2022-23, Platform Economy, and Remedial Matters) Bill (“the Bill”) to Parliament. The Bill as originally introduced attracted significant attention for its proposals relating to GST for managed funds, and the flow-on impact on KiwiSaver balances. The Government subsequently announced that the proposals would not be going ahead, and the Bill was withdrawn and subsequently reintroduced to Parliament on 8 September.

In addition to the now scrapped proposal referred to above, the Bill includes a number of other significant tax changes. In this Tax Tips, we discuss the main proposals, including:

  • Information collection and reporting for platform operators in the gig and sharing economy
  • GST changes for platform operators in the gig and sharing economy
  • Various changes relating to tax obligations for cross-border workers
  • FBT exemption for public transport
  • Changes relating to dual resident companies
  • Various housing tax changes
  • GST apportionment
  • GST on legislative charges (such as levies)
  • GST invoicing changes
