Understanding rental property tax in New Zealand
How rental income is taxed
Rental income is added to your other income and taxed at your marginal rate. Deductible expenses reduce your net rental income. The calculator works out additional tax by comparing your tax with and without rental income.
Interest deductibility changes
The Government has been phasing back in interest deductibility for residential rental properties. From 1 April 2024, 80% of interest is deductible, rising to 100% from 1 April 2025. This applies to properties acquired on or after 27 March 2021.
Allowable deductions
Common deductions include mortgage interest (subject to limits), council rates, insurance, property management fees, maintenance and repairs, body corporate fees, and other costs directly related to earning rental income.
