Adam Irish made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department

The request was successful.

From: Adam Irish

Dear Inland Revenue Department,

I wish to request under the Official Information Act the following information.

Under The bright-line property rule the seller must pay a tax on gains of property that was either:

purchased on or after 1 October 2015 through to 28 March 2018 inclusive, and sold within 2 years

Or

purchased on or after 29 March 2018 and sold within 5 years.

What is the total number of properties that have paid tax related to this requirement each year over the last 3 years.

Does Ird have an investigations team to check that this requirement is being adhered to and what is the size of the team.

Does Ird request information from LINZs on the transfer of property to enforce these regulations.

Yours faithfully

Adam Irish
