Did you know that doing up a rental straight after purchase can mean those costs aren’t deductible? 💸

IRD may treat early renovations as part of the property’s purchase price, not repairs!

👉 If it’s work the previous owner could have done, IRD assumes you would’ve just paid more for the property.

Smart move:

✔️ Don’t rush renovations
✔️ Allow genuine wear & tear while you own it
✔️ Plan maintenance timing carefully

IRD looks at things like:
• How soon the work was done
• Condition at purchase
• Whether it was fit to rent
• Impact on purchase price
• Nature and extent of the work

Getting this wrong can be expensive. Give us a call if you need advice!

Scammers are getting smarter 🚨

…and they know exactly how to make an offer sound tempting!

💰 High-return investment?
💼 Easy-money job offer?
🎁 Prize you never entered?
✈️ Unbelievably cheap holiday?
🚩 These can all be red flags

Protect yourself by:
• Questioning big promises
• Checking companies through official channels
• Never paying to receive a prize or secure a genuine job
• Taking a moment before sending money or personal details
• Booking through trusted travel platforms

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

💡 Business tip! 💸

Thinking of dropping your prices to match competitors? Pause.

Slashing prices can hurt your margins and weaken your brand ⚠️

If you’re positioned as premium, cheaper isn’t always better. Pricing isn’t a reaction, it’s a statement. Set prices that support profit and growth 📈✨

🎁 Giving your employees a gift voucher?

It’s worth knowing the tax treatment before you hand it over!

🛍️ Retailer-specific vouchers like New World, Farmers or Mitre 10 are generally subject to FBT, although the de minimis exemption may apply.

💳 General-use gift cards such as some Visa or Mastercard cards are generally treated as employment income and go through PAYE.

💵 Cash or cash-redeemable vouchers are also treated as employment income and processed through payroll.

Since April 2025, employers can also elect to apply FBT treatment to all gift cards and vouchers, which can simplify things for businesses that provide them regularly.

So before you gift it, check how it needs to be taxed! 👀

Not sure how your employee gift vouchers should be treated? Give us a call at SOSA
