I love my work, but if I didn't have the forums to gently caress around on during conference calls, remote app deployment, or the other 60% of my job that is waiting for timers to request my input I'd go Garth George.

puchu posted:speaking of which there's gonna be a capital gains tax* on houses soon *a change in the way the current capital gains tax is applied. This just strips out the airy fairy 'intent' element for the first two years of investor ownership, or essentially assigns it by default. Would like to have a look at the proposed legislation changes because I'd be curious to see how it will work with trusts.

It's not a capital gains tax you guys. I'm against them. I dunno what it is called but we are basically going to try to tax capital gains - John "low tax" Key

Auckland house prices coincidentally rise by an exact amount equal to the tax that would be paid on them.

It's okay, Central will just mandate that the Auckland Council open up more land for development while continuing to deny them any funding for infrastructure. Problem solved.

Speaking as a tax lawyer, honestly the 2 year thing doesn't change much. The IRD would definitely assume that a sale of a investment property within 2 years is taxable under the current rules (bought with the intent to resell). This is probably just to make it really obvious so (a) property speculators will include it in their returns so the IRD doesn't waste money investigating them, and (b) IRD doesn't have to go to court against idiotic taxpayers who want to disputes everything.

a cgt excluding the family home would be worthless, and also we already have a cgt, and also a cgt would just punish kiwi mums and dads. this new thing isn't a capital gains tax at all, but a tax on capital gains

At best it's stopped the absolute piss-taking that the IRD will already be aware of in a lot of cases. If you wanted to be really favourable towards National you could also suggest it would make sales immediately after that two year period look pretty cynical too, given the intent rules are still in play from two years on. Still, more resources for the IRD to chase up property investors with a questionable track record of quickly reselling property is always a good thing.

I wonder what a "stalled economy" looks like. Maybe it's a prime minister who hasn't managed to deliver a single surplus in his entire time in office.

I had a job overseas that would've trained me to do a job that the nation sorely needs, but thanks to John Key's policy changes meant to curb "DOLE BLUDGERS TAKING HOLIDAYS IN BALI" I was forced to return home and do another degree so I can continue sucking off the government teat for four more years, and eventually become the mid-level Wellington beltway bureaucrat this country deserves. The evil of dole bludgers/graduates trying to work in lower-paying fields and countries has again been curbed. I met John Key once. Dude sweats like a paedophile in a playground. He is permanently moist. There is a miasma around him. Nick Smith too. All the Nats I've met have sweated and smiled too much. It's unnerving. I'm not going to suggest they're aliens dressed in human skin but the thought has occurred to me.

Aw, gross, that means he's been touching young girls' hair with moist, clammy hands. Are we talking 'leaves a visible residue behind' sweat? Or are we more in the 'there is no way you are as comfortable as you are pretending to be' ballpark?

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:I get to meet Winston tomorrow. Anything I should say to him?  SurreptitiousMuffin posted:John Key is damp in his soul. There is something about the way he sags that calls to mind a mould-riddled house on the brink of falling down. The air around him is slightly humid, and sticky-sweet. He licks his lips a little too often, and smiles a little too wide; if he were a monkey, I'd think he were about to attack. He is not a monkey, though. He is a man; a man in a perfectly-tailored suit that somehow becomes poorly-fitted from being draped around his strange lumpen body. He is drab, in a way that's almost infectious. He is less a man than a mound of sour boiled cabbage that has learned how to walk. They sent a poet

Born in 97: DIA issued her birth cert in the naughty name, but recorded internally as Justine. She is now 17 and has a newborn she struggled to register. But it's now all resolved so she can now go through life literally named after the Ministry of Justice. I'm not sure what is the most tragic aspect of this mess.
