It was implemented to raise revenue for the Government and to make citizens who have investable assets paid tax on their profits from those properties. The tax was also applied to other investments (houses, bonds, shares, or any property) to increase the revenue for the government. So there was no diversion away from the property.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b7f66e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4b7f66e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f1a13d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f1a13d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The negative aspect of the tax is that some people might be discouraged to invest in assets and they may prefer to use their money in other ways.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74ac277 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74ac277\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A capital gains tax that is applicable only to housing would have discouraged investors from putting all their money in the real estate market. In the beginning, the Australian CGT was not making the prices of houses increase. However, everything changed in September in 1999, when there was a review of the policy in September 1999 by John Howard.<br \/>The situation in Australia seems to be a contrast to other countries where the earning of income rental income is the most important factor to consider when investing in a rental property. Investors market properties on the assumption that they do not make positive taxable income for a significant period.<br \/>The cause-effect of this is that investors are ready to pay unreasonable prices for houses. They do not consider the weekly rental income, even if it is too low to justify the cost of the house. They just buy the house with the expectation that the amount will keep increasing, and hoping they will get generous tax concessions, and when it comes time to resell the property, they will not have to pay a high tax on their gains.<br \/>The Australian case study does not prove that a capital tax gains cannot help control house price. However, the lesson learned is that the government should have an objective that they want the tax to achieve and design it that way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f9adbf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5f9adbf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bedfc5c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bedfc5c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a8097 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"67a8097\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is Capital Gains Tax implementable in New Zealand?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3998f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3998f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>New Zealand is one of the few among the developed countries in which citizens do not pay capital gains tax on a person\u2019s primary house.

For instance, tax takes dependent on capital gains tax, constrained sales activity, and flat asset prices will result in less revenue for the government.<br \/>Moreover, it will have some lock-in effect. For example, if you own a property worth $530k, which over time becomes $620k. Now you discover that you can use the capital in another way that will be beneficial to your need. However, when you sell, you would have less money to meet your needs after paying tax.<br \/>In other words, to move your capital from one asset to another will mean that you pay some money to the government coffers. This way, the government has more funds to spend on pet projects while the housing market will be slow since most people would be reluctant to sell.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abae269 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"abae269\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a25e1ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a25e1ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Things A New Zealand Capital Gains Tax Will Not Do.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74a9292 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74a9292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A NZ capital gains tax will not reduce house prices.
