我和楼主情况相似,投资房要转为自住,投资房购买不到两年,按新政不知是否需要交税?听说IRD有规定按照Bright Line Test 投资房在两年内转为自住和改变使用用途也应被视为"出售"了房产,所以要报税?但实际上我并没有卖房。作者: NewLynnHse 时间: 2016-8-27 07:51:17

The bright-line rule only applies to residential properties bought on or after 1 October 2015. Under this rule you'll pay tax on income you earn if you buy and sell a house within two years, unless you're selling your main home or another exception applies.
What does "main home" mean under the bright-line rule?
You could think of your main home as your family home. Your main home is the property you have the greatest connection to.
To be eligible for the main home exception to the bright line rule, you need to have used a property as your main home for 50% or more of the time that you've owned it.
You also need to use more than 50% of the area of the property as your main home. (The area that counts as your main home generally includes things like your yard, gardens and related buildings like the garage.)
This is an important point if you rent out a granny flat attached to your house or part of your house is used as a business. As an example, if you use 40% of a property as your home and 60% as a rental property, you won't be eligible for the main home exception if you sell that property.
If you live in more than one property, you'll need to decide which is your main home. To decide if a property you own qualifies as your main home, think about:
where your personal property is kept
the amount of time you spend living in each house
where your immediate family lives
where your social ties are strongest
your use of the home
what other ties (for example:employment, business, economic) you have with the surrounding community.
楼主可以对照一下以上的规定, 很容易判断是否要交税。
