This bright line test is different from the previous one.
If you rent out your main house for more than 12 months, next time if you sell it, you will have to pay the tax.
"For residential properties acquired on or after 27 March 2021, including new builds, the Government intends to
introduce a 'change-of-use' rule. This will affect the way tax is calculated if the property was not used as the owner's
main home for more than 12 months at a time within the applicable bright-line period.
If a property switches to or from being the owner's main home and the period when it is not their main home is 12
months or less, they do not need to count that as a change-of-use – those non-main home days are 'treated as' main
home days.
For example, if an owner takes a few months to move into a property, or owns it for a few months after
moving out, this does not trigger the bright-line test.
The owner of a property subject to the change-of-use rule will be required to pay income tax on a proportion of the
profit made through the property increasing in value, calculated as follows:
• subtract the purchase price from the sale price
• subtract the cost of capital improvements the owner has made
• subtract the costs to buy and sell the property, and
• multiply the result by the proportion of time the property was not being used as the owner's main home. "
"Example:
Rental property to main home or Main house to Rental Property
Joseph buys a new build house in 2025 for $1 million and immediately lists it for rent on a short-stayaccommodation website. The property is used for short-stay accommodation until 2027 when Joseph moves in anduses it as his main home. He spends $100,000 on double glazing and a new deck.Joseph sells it 2 years later (in 2029) for $1.2 million.Joseph owned the property for 4 years. Because it was a new build the applicable bright-line period is 5 years.Because he sold it within 5 years of buying it, the bright-line test applies.The property was Joseph's main home for the 2 years he lived in it (2027 to 2029) so he will pay tax for theremaining 2 of the 4 years he owned the property. His additional taxable income in the year he sells the property is$50,000 – being 2/4ths of the $100,000 ($1.2m - $1m - $100,000) profit. Joseph will need to add this to hisincome in his tax return, and pay tax on it accordingly. "
