The introduction of the wage subsidy and small business cashflow loan scheme in response to COVID-19. Broadening the refundability of research and development tax credits, proposed legislative changes, including specific deductibility provisions for feasibility expenditure, rules to govern purchase price allocations, and expansion of the "regular pattern" restriction for property sales and new and updated rulings from Inland Revenue." -- provided by publisher.

New Zealand's primary sector continues to dominate our export earnings. In 2019 export revenue is forecast to reach over $45 billion. Given its strategic importance, it is unsurprising that the sector has a specialised and diverse set of tax regimes, all of which are brought together in the Tax Guide to Farming, Forestry and Fishing.In addition to covering these special regimes, this book also covers some of the more general tax principles that are likely to affect farming, forestry and fishing.This third edition has been fully updated to include all legislative and Inland Revenue policy changes up to August 2019, including the new bloodstock rules, changes to the tax treatment of farmhouse expenses, repeal of the adverse event scheme for income equalisation, overhaul of the schedular payments rules, the application of the bright-line test to farming properties, and new IR rulings on deductibility of resource consents.
