Foreign buyer ban: National expects foreigners to snap up one-in-two high-priced luxury homes

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.

外国买家每年需要花费约 50 亿纽币购买新西兰房产——相当于抢购去年售出的 200 万纽币以上房屋的近一半——国家党才能创造 7.4 亿纽币的承诺税收收入。国家党昨天表示，如果当选，它将允许外国买家以 200 万纽币或以上的价格购买任何新西兰房屋，只要买家支付销售价格 15% 的税。预计该政策每年将筹集 7.4 亿纽币。按照 15% 的税率计算，外国买家的年销售额将达到 49亿 纽币。根据房地产分析师 Valocity 的数据，去年新西兰价值 200 万纽币以上的房屋总销售总额为 115 亿纽币，而 2021 年此类销售总额达到创纪录的 172 亿纽币。这意味着外国买家每年需要购买所有待售高端住宅的 30% 至 50%，才能实现国家党的目标。但在 2018 年政府禁止外国买家之前，他们通常只参与新西兰所有房屋销售的不到 3%。
……
工党还声称，国家党将无法向中国买家征收15%的税，因为这将违反新西兰与中国在2019年签署的双重征税协议。
（注：在海外买家禁令实施之前，外国买家中36%是来自中国。）

工党又来拿华人挑动族裔矛盾了。
现在印度人来买房的那麽多，为啥不敢提？
是因为印度裔议员排名比奈斯高吗？

国家党的减税政策漏洞百出，根本入不敷出！唯一的结果就是跟上次国家党执政一样，政府财政出个大窟窿，不得不借巨额外债度日，出卖国有资产，砍各种公共福利，搞得天怨人怒，工党上台还得背黑锅还外债利息、补各种公共服务的漏洞！政府借巨额外债，炒房个人外债也创历史新高，恶果是在美国升息时，政府和新西兰个人双双成为被宰的羔羊！！看坛子里那些炒房背了一屁股债投资亏损的国粉，在债海里扑腾挣扎，国家党投资亏损抵税的政策就是他们的稻草呀！也不管这跟稻草对新西兰来说就是推高房价和通胀的毒药！
