Foreign buyers will need to spend about $5 billion buying Kiwi property each year - the equivalent of snapping up almost half of all the $2m-plus homes that sold last year - for the National Party to generate $740m in promised tax income.
National yesterday said that, if elected, it will allow foreign buyers to buy any Kiwi home at $2m or more so long as the buyer pays a 15 per cent tax on the sale price.
It predicts the policy will raise $740m each year. At a 15 per cent tax rate that will require $4.9b worth of annual sales to foreign buyers.
Last year, the overall sale of $2m-plus homes in New Zealand totalled $11.5b, while in 2021 such sales totalled a record high $17.2b, according to property analysts Valocity.
That suggests foreign buyers will need to each year buy between 30 and 50 per cent of all high-end homes for sales to meet National’s goals.
But before the Government banned foreign buyers in 2018, they typically only took part in less than 3 per cent of all house sales across New Zealand.
.....
Labour also claimed National won’t be able to hit Chinese buyers with the 15 per cent tax because it will fall foul of a Double Tax Agreement that New Zealand signed with China in 2019.
