5.1 How to check if you are required to file FIF income in New Zealand
If you meet the following conditions, you are required to file FIF (See 2.4) income.
- You are a NZ tax resident (See 2.1), and
- You are investing Asian shares with the direct income interest of less than 10% (See 2.6), and
- The cost is more than NZ$50,000 (See 2.4.1.1), and
- You are not entitled to a 4-year temporary tax exemption (See 2.5)
If any of above conditions are not met, you are not affected by the FIF rules but you may have other tax obligations relating to your investments.
