In Brief: Navigating the proposed removal of tax depreciation: Key considerations for businesses

On 28 March 2024, the New Zealand government (the “Government”) enacted the removal of tax depreciation deductions of industrial and commercial buildings. Some of the considerations will be similar to those that arose in 2010 when tax depreciation was first removed. However ‘switching on’ tax depreciation in 2020 for a period then ‘switching it off’ again introduces additional complexities. In this publication we highlight key commercial, tax and financial reporting complexities businesses should be thinking about.
