Learn about the various GST issues that need to be worked through in relation to land.

There have been a number of changes to the GST rules as they relate to land owners over the last few years.  Knowing when
you can or should, register for GST, although simple on its face, has become more complicated. Then, once registered, determining
whether you need to make any use adjustments, and whether any transactions are or should be zero-rated can be a minefield. The impact of
GST must be understood for an increasing number of property owners and how it applies can change in seemingly similar situations.
Therefore, whether you are a property developer, landlord, undertaking a small subdivision or renting out a spare room on
Airbnb, the GST rules can have a significant impact which must be understood.

The session will provide an overview of the relevant GST rules and how they might apply in relation to a variety of land transactions,
with practical examples.

In particular, the webinar will cover:

• When must or can a land owner register for GST?
• Zero-rating of land – when and how the rules apply;
• The application of apportionment rules that can apply;
• Associated Use.
• Impact on other assets.
• Dealing with common issues that arise.

The webinar will cover a variety of practical examples, including, how the rules apply to land owners.
