UncategorizedChanges to Lease Inducement Payments

May 4, 2022by knob21

When a landlord makes a payment in cash to induce a tenant into signing in to a lease, the payment is usually deductible to the landlord. Under the existing rules, a lease inducement payment received by the tenant is non-taxable. This was confirmed in a ruling by the Privy Council case in CIR v Wattie (1998) 18 NZTC 13,991. The Government has proposed new rules whereby the lease inducement payments will become taxable in the hands of the tenant. The new rules will be effective from 1 April 2013.
