As the “silly season” approaches and the weather improves, New Zealanders have been forewarned of the prospect of a Labour-proposed 28% capital gains tax on investment and rental properties should they become the government after the next election.
Coming into effect from July 2027, the policy will exclude the family home and farms. While Labour aims to curb price inflation and fund free GP visits, this move could reshape property investment culture, flatten values, and prompt some investors to reconsider selling. Industry commentators are wary but not panicked, noting that similar taxes overseas haven’t necessarily cooled markets.
The outcome hinges on election results and policy details, with many investors likely seeking advice before making big moves. The property market remains in flux, and sellers may benefit from acting swiftly before changes take effect.
As election manifestos unfold and CGT debates continue, uncertainty lingers, making it prudent to keep an eye on developments through the festive period.

Round about now we all start referring to this time of year as the “silly season”.
After a cold winter and fickle spring throwing snow, strong gales, and plummeting temperatures into the mix across New Zealand, this pre-Christmas build up can tax the hardiest of souls! And speaking of tax, just as we are contemplating better days on the horizon, Chris Hipkins has announced that should Labour become the government after the next election they propose to introduce a capital gains tax (CGT).
We may well see shifts in property prices, returns for investors, and even a shift in the traditional mindset that’s made owning investment property such a pivotal component of New Zealand culture.
Industry commentators with skin in the game have been unpacking the likely winners and losers of this in the event of a Labour win at the next election in late 2026. Although it’s fair to say that they are mostly not enthusiastic about it, some conclude that it’s not a cause for full scale alarm. In the short term it may negatively impact activity in the market and in the long term it could encourage landlord investors to hold off selling. Values could see a flattening of the curve (to coin a phrase!) which of course would be counterproductive in terms of revenue collecting for the government. Although after 2027 a perceived gain may deter investors from selling, across the board those deals may be few and far between anyway.
Those who have been accruing a significant portfolio over a long period of time with the objective to divest all for a healthy retirement might be having a chat with their accountant before the year ends. Though with the usual rough and tumble that emanates from the Beehive on a regular basis anything we are being promised now is a moving target – or may even end up being no target at all.
The specifics are that this 28% tax on profits from a sale will, after July 2027, apply to investment and residential rental property. If your only property asset is the family home or a farm, then this tax will not apply to you when you sell. That’s not to say that this tax may not be the precursor for a more comprehensive CGT further down the road but for now, the devil is in the details. We only need look across the ditch to see our possible future. Many other developed countries have a variety of capital gains taxes and New Zealand tends to be an outlier in not having tapped into this rich source of government revenue. Labour’s rationale is that the move will subdue price inflation and finance another of their announced policies this week: three free doctor visits annually for all Kiwis.
From my perspective both as a real estate salesperson and as a business owner guiding a team at the coalface, this proposed tax on investment properties is set to change the way some of our clientele think about property as a means of building wealth.
As we speculate over the introduction of a capital gains taxation scheme in New Zealand it must be said that when rolled out in other countries it didn’t prevent prices from increasing. Other factors come into play for how property values respond – interest rates, restricted supply of land, other types of taxation – this proposal is just another string to the market’s bow.
Remember, it can take time from when a government first moots something major like a capital gains tax, to getting it across the line and furthermore, seeing any revenue come in from it. We’ll be seeing more as the election looms and election manifestos are rolled out by the various parties.
Sellers making a swift decision to get their properties on the market now can capitalise on the better weather as Mother Nature calms down. In the meantime we’ll be maintaining a watching brief over these CGT implications for the real estate market as the silly season progresses into the Christmas break.

The enduring appeal of coastal interiors has much to do with its relaxed living ethos.
Who doesn’t love a day at the beach? Coastal-style interiors tap into a rich vein of seashore inspiration, from colours and materials that evoke the sea and sand dunes, to objects of nautical whimsy. But most of all, coastal style is about a mood. Channel the barefoot bliss of a day at the beach with interiors that make you instantly unwind.
Perhaps the ultimate anti-trend, coastal interiors have an evergreen – and even global – appeal. The serenity of a salt-spray vacay is always desirable. After all, anyone can appreciate the allure of a home that’s as soothing as a holiday – Kiwis included.
Here in New Zealand, where the natural world is such an intrinsic part of our national identity, where the coast is always a day trip away, and where the humble beach bach is the ubiquitous setting of romanticised childhood memories, it’s no wonder coastal style holds such enduring charm. The connection to nature is key, says interior designer Margaux Word of Chroma Interiors. “In New Zealand, people love when their interiors feel like an extension of the outdoors.”
Ahoy, mateys
Coastal interiors come in various salty flavours. When we think “coastal”, we’ve usually got a particular and instantly identifiable look in mind. Classic coastal style takes all the most iconic elements of a beach escape. It combines a calming colour palette and marine-inspired textures, then seasoning with a dash of maritime motifs.
The key elements of a coastal look are:
Sun: A coastal interior is as light as the sun glittering off the ocean and as airy as the limitless horizon. To capture the look, welcome in as much light as possible. Keep windows and doors clear and ready to be pushed wide open. Floaty sheers are better than heavy drapes. Pair with discreet roller blinds or textured matchstick blinds for blocking light – or leave windows bare. To amplify the light, opt for lavish use of white on walls, furnishings and even whitewashed floors, if you’re brave.
Sand: Inspired by sandy beaches, classic coastal interiors usually start with a backdrop of white or beige, while furnishings double down on the sand tones.
Timber furniture leans toward pale or limed wood, with a soft finish as though scoured smooth by sand. Rattan both ticks the box for sandy colour and is reminiscent of resort holidays. Bring softness to floors with seagrass or jute rugs.
Ocean hues: If you’ve ever collected sea glass off the beach, that’s the colour palette commonly associated with coastal style: muted and milky blues and greens. For a sophisticated look, keep the palette neutral (greige, white), but with accents in navy. Or for a moodier coastal interpretation – think fisherman’s cottage next to storm-tossed seas, rather than pastelpretty summer bach and drench the space in navy from head to toe.
Nautical elements: Drive home the coastal look with maritime elements. These can be subtle; shiplap walls are a coastal classic, while striped fabrics suggest the sea. Beachy souvenirs like seashells, driftwood, coral, or nautical motifs – anchors, oars, rope – are more obviously coastal; add a little here and there for a subtle look, or go all in and embrace the kitsch charm.
coast to coast
From Piha’s black-sand stretch to the turquoise lagoons of Rarotonga, beautiful beaches come in all shapes and sizes – and coastal interiors are equally diverse. To find which one floats your boat, take a metaphorical journey around the globe, exploring coastal looks from Mount Maunganui to the Med. Hamptons
With inspiration sourced from the holiday homes of the seriously well-heeled on the US East Coast, Hamptons style gives classic coastal a sophisticated spin. More buttoned-up than your average bach – think Ralph Lauren goes to the beach. Hamptons homes combine formality and a distinct sense of luxury with the relaxed livability of a beachside home.
There are certain key elements that typify Hamptons: weatherboards and shingles, plantation shutters, Shaker-profile kitchen cabinets and strong architectural details. To capture the moneyed sophistication of Hamptons style in your interiors, think traditional or antique furniture, stately lighting (lantern pendants and oversized table lamps), wallpaper and patterned fabrics. Keep to the strict palette of blues and neutrals. Drama is brought in using accents of black, navy, or brass.
An island holiday is always on the wishlist and a tropical interior scheme gives you a taste of warmer climes every day. Tropical decor can be light on colour – whites and soft neutrals are typical. But it never feels bland, with an abundance of greenery turning the space into a lush indoor jungle.
Opt for large and leafy plants, such as rubber trees, palms, monstera, fiddle-leaf fig and syngonium. Don’t forget sightlines to the outdoors, filling gardens visible from inside with a mass of lush foliage.
Evoke a resort vibe with natural materials – rattan furniture (afternoon mai tai optional) and rattan pendants that gently sway in a breeze. Place jute rugs underfoot; timber in solid statement furniture; grasscloth wallpaper; and acres of linen. Encourage a sense of light and movement with minimal window dressings – billowing sheers exactly match the look. Bonus points if you can also incorporate them into a four-poster bed.
Accessorise with tropical print fabrics and wallpapers, and bamboo motifs (for example, bamboo cabinet handles). Keep it minimal for a fresh, resort feel, or amp up the pattern to take tropical into the delightfully overstuffed territory of British expat decor.
From Spain to Cyprus, the Mediterranean combines natural beauty with an evocative sense of the ancient. Centuries of design make it an architecture buff’s playground, but the universally seductive element is the way the buildings blend the indoors and outdoors.
“The temperate climate of the Mediterranean allows for an incredible indoor-outdoor flow to the home. My favourite elements are rooted in this design feature,” says interior designer Nickola Horrocks of Horrockses Design.
Capture this seamless flow by continuing materials, particularly flooring, from interior to exterior.
Pay equal attention to styling outdoor rooms – a long table for epic lunches, pots inspired by the terracotta roof tiles of the Med filled with lavender, rosemary and olive trees, plus a grapevine-fringed pergola for shade.
Bring a sense of living history, says Nickola. “Introduce elements that get better with age: natural linen, leather, wood and stone.” Travertine tiles are a good example of a Med-influenced material that will never age or go out of style.
Against a base palette of white – think white-washed exteriors and soft, textured plaster indoors. Use colours inspired by nature: the blues and greens of the sea, of course, but also golden shades of sun-yellow, mustard and clay.
If Hampton’s style is polo shirts and boat shoes, the New Zealand coastal home is jandals and sand between the toes – and that’s what we love about it. “The Kiwi approach is relaxed and unpretentious, using a ‘less is more’ philosophy,” says Margaux.
The idea of the classic bach is at the root of New Zealand coastal interiors. These lean toward simplicity of materials and form – whether that’s concrete floors and plywood walls. It’s a nod to the slapped-together baches of old.
Our distinctive shoreline plays a part. Kiwi coastal homes veer toward darker palettes that are more sympathetic to the surroundings. They don’t stand out in bright white. “The colour palettes reflect the environment, drawing on bush, sea, sky and beach. They create calm and meditative spaces that are a true respite from our busy city lives,” says Nickola.
There’s a sense of humour to New Zealand coastal homes, too. Decor gives a wry nod to the retro furniture, op shop art and Crown Lynn mugs of the classic bach. This can be expressed through delightfully kitsch accessories, or by the use of colour. Let go of the white reins to embrace playful hues.
While classic coastal is enduringly charming, contemporary coastal interiors are all grown up. Swap overt marine motifs for more oblique coastal references, using a curated palette of materials to subtly evoke the natural beauty of the shore.
“I think of modern coastal design as a home that feels like an extension of its environment. It’s not just a house on the beach. The themed ‘beach house’ look is gone and has been replaced by homes that use natural materials and tones. It’s a style that feels effortless yet considered,” says Margaux.
The modern coastal home is characterised by a sort of soft minimalism. It combines clean lines with the welcoming warmth of sun-heated sand. Nickola believes that a subtle coastal vibe is created with materials like limestone floors (with visible shells and fossil casts), aged timber and petrified wood. But most of all, she says, the essence of a modern coastal home is still that feeling of liveability and barefoot luxury.
“Natural fibres or performance fabrics that look natural but will stand up to wet swimmers, sandy feet and dogs straight from the beach. Think slipcovers that can be washed and put back on slightly wrinkled; scrubbed tables that withstand spills and the children’s arts and crafts; washed linen curtains that flow in the sea breeze – all these things that just get better with age and the collection of memories.”

The economy is months away from feeling the full effects of falling interest rates.
What is a reasonable view to have on the NZ economy for the coming year?
Does one repeat the optimism that proved wrong in 2024 and 2025. Or is more caution warranted? The Reserve Bank’s 50-basis point cut to the OCR shows it is choosing caution.
Fair enough. Twice bitten third time shy. But the chances of good economic outcomes next year look a lot stronger this time around for several reasons, not least the lagged effect of lower interest rates.
At the end of 2023 interest rates were still on the up. And at the end of 2024, interest rates were falling but people were over-optimistic in thinking that relief would immediately appear. It can take 1824 months for a substantial change in monetary policy to take effect.
Now, we are 14 months down the track from the first rate cuts, which tells us that the economy will start to feel the full effects of lower interest rates from early next year, gaining strength as we head into the general election.
What interests me is that we will also be feeling the impact of the jump in farm incomes. When rural incomes surge, the effects ripple out from Southland, then to Otago, and soon after to Canterbury, Taranaki, Manawatu-Wanganui, Bay of Plenty and Waikato.
(The boost may take a year to show up in Auckland, and two years to show in Wellington.)
But there are other positive factors also coming into the mix. Upside potential is strong for foreign student numbers (highly relevant to Auckland CBD and Christchurch) as Australia curbs international student numbers to stem housing market tightness.
Infrastructure spending is ramping up – although picking timelines for a boost can be difficult given the long lags between announcing a plan and actually doing it. Prospects for house construction are looking better, at least for standalone housing. Multi-unit developments will take longer to kick into gear given the current over-supply and financier wariness of still over-stretched developers.
The exchange rate has weakened recently and that is good for some extra export receipts generally alongside maybe some extra tourists, which would be useful in helping to make up for the reduction in cruise ship visits to most ports this season.
Of great relevance in all of this is when householders start to feel more confident about their employment and income growth.
Optimistic people will spend more. I can see early signs of businesses planning to hire more people from my monthly business survey. But there is zero indication as yet that employment confidence is lifting.
I gauge that from my monthly survey of real estate agents where one of the question I ask is what buyers are worried about. They can tick boxes for things like a shortage of listings, access to finance, interest rates etc., as well as their jobs and incomes.
At the start of last year only 14% of agents said people were worried about their employment. That soared to 56% come June last year which so far has been the peak. But the latest reading from three weeks ago was almost the same at 55%.
Therefore, for spring I don’t think it is reasonable for retailers to expect many positive surprises. But come summer there is a good chance of things looking better, and after that the factors I have listed above will come into play and should reward those who have made it through the horrid period since the pandemic binge ended at the start of 2022.

Looking to transform your backyard into a thriving edible oasis? Growing fruit trees is one of the most rewarding and sustainable ways to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce throughout the year. Whether you’re working with a full-sized garden or a modest urban courtyard, fruit trees offer long-term rewards with relatively little upkeep. New Zealand’s temperate climate is ideal for growing a wide range of fruit, from Mediterranean favourites to subtropical varieties.
But not all fruit trees are created equal. The best choice for your garden depends on your region, garden space, and how much time you want to invest. To help you get started, we’ve put together a list of the top-performing fruit trees for Kiwi gardens, plus expert tips on planting, sun requirements, and how to keep your trees productive year after year.
The best fruit trees for your backyard...
Apple trees are a classic choice for all gardens in Aotearoa. With countless varieties available, from sweet Royal Gala to tart Granny Smith, you’ll adore picking your afternoon snack directly from your own apple tree. Many apple trees require cross-pollination, so planting two compatible trees will ensure a better harvest.
When to plant: Winter, while the trees are dormant
Harvest in: Two to four years
Position: Full sun
Soil: Free-draining soil, rich in organic matter
Avocados can be fussy to grow, but incredibly rewarding, especially when you’re making guacamole from scratch using the fruit you’ve harvested from your garden. Plant your tree in a warm, sheltered spot with well-draining soil. Young trees are sensitive to frost, so use cloth or plant in a protected area.
When to plant: Spring
Harvest in: Two to four years
Position: Full sun
Soil: Free-draining soil, rich in organic matter
Feijoas are a New Zealand favourite for a reason. They’re hardy, easy to grow, and produce sweet, aromatic fruit in autumn. Plant at least two different varieties for successful cross-pollination, unless you’re planting a self-fertile cultivar like ‘unique’ or ‘bambina’. Feijoa also have dwarf and hedging varieties to suit any garden. These plants are hardy too, and will tolerate coastal conditions and light frosts.
When to plant: Autumn and spring
Harvest in: Two to three years
Position: Full sun
Soil: Free-draining soil, rich in organic matter
Lemon trees, especially the Meyer, are very prolific. Look after your lemon tree and you’ll be rewarded with an abundance of sweet, tangy fruit for years to come. Lemon trees thrive best in warmer regions but can be successfully grown in pots in cooler parts of the country.
When to plant: Autumn and spring
Harvest in: Two to three years
Position: Full sun
Soil: Free-draining soil, rich in organic matter
Plums are incredibly productive and suitable for most regions of Aotearoa, although they are best grown with another variety for optimal pollination success. Billington is an early-season red plum that’s partially self-fertile, while Luisa produces large, sweet yellow fruit. Water well during fruiting and prune after harvest.
When to plant: Winter
Harvest in: Two to four years
Position: Full sun, away from strong winds
Soil: Deep, free-draining soil, rich in organic matter
Peaches and nectarines grow well in the warmer parts of New Zealand, as thet love at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Most varieties are self-fertile (typically excluding drawf vareties) but bee activity in your garden will be especially useful to ensure a bountiful harvest.
When to plant: Winter
Harvest in: One to three years
Position: Full sun, sheltered from wind
Soil: Free-draining soil, rich in organic matter

Go beyond the visual and bring shade and texture into your home.
We’ve always taken inspiration from nature in our homes, so what does “earthy and natural” mean when it comes to interior design and colour inspiration?
Over the past few years, we’ve increasingly embraced a design ethos that connects us to nature. What has grown out of natureinspired design trends is a desire to go beyond visual representations of nature to feel the texture of the outdoors and bring it inside.
In that context, “earthy” takes on a broader three-dimensional, sensory definition. We might start with earthy colour, using beautiful, muted browns, greens, blues, floral pinks and even sunset golds, but we also want to include the patterns, light and feel of nature and its materials.
Resene stylist and colour trend specialist Moneuan Ryan says modern earthy shades can be used to balance perennially popular minimalist modernism with sensory richness of nature, in a style known as Global South or Southern Contemporary. It embraces not only richer earthy shades like sienna, ochre and terracotta, but cultural crafts, traditional textiles and natural materials like clay, stone and thatch.
“It combines these elements in a fresh way, using rich natural colours to connect the built environment with the natural environment.”
Colours that spring from the earth, such as greens and browns, are the obvious first source of inspiration for an earthy look, Moneuan says.
“The colour palette can include the softest warming whites like Resene Quarter Bianca and Resene Spring Wood to off white shades that are more cocooning and very liveable,” she says. “These include pink and clay tones such as Resene Cashmere, Resene Wafer and Resene Beethoven.”
Accents of muted orange and peach add vibrancy to this soft green dining room, while keeping it feeling grounded and earthy.
Pair these warm neutrals with bolder accent colours that deepen in richness on walls, beams, ceiling and furniture, she suggests.
Shades like brown-red Resene Redwood, Resene Aubergine or Resene Red Planet bring a rich, luxurious finish while remaining earthy and textured, particularly when used in flat or low sheen finishes like Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen.
“Elegant but rustic, softer browns and bronzed shades can’t be missed off as an integral part of these new palettes,” Moneuan says.
Colours like Resene Nomad or Resene Sugar Loaf are soft and dusky yet deliver strongly as wall colours. For something deeper try Resene Millbrook, Resene Deep Bronze or Resene Black Magic for maximum bold and cocooning earthy tones that feel truly reflective of our own natural environment.
When it comes to greens, Moneuan suggests dark and stormy shades like Resene Racing Green, Resene Eternity or Resene Log Cabin for a similarly rich and deep finish that feels complex and interesting as well as earthy.
For fresher notes, look to more flaxen greens like Resene Aspiring, she says, as a lighter uplifting hue or Resene Siam and Resene Woodland for truer forest canopy inspired tones.
Though browns and greens tend to be what we gravitate to when we think of “earthy colours”, there is a growing trend to go broader into blues, reds and even sunset shades while keeping to an earthy aesthetic.
The trick here is to look for mid-range colours which have a muted or greyed edge to them, so they’re bolder than pastels, while not as vivid as brights or jewel colours.
The texture of stained wood panels in earthy shades adds visual interest and relief against the deep brown wall.
The lime-washed effect on this wall in soft sunset shades lends the room the earthy weathered look of washed terracotta.
If you want an earthy red, try brick hues or those that veer toward brown such as Resene Red Oxide or Resene Fahrenheit, rather than pinker-toned berry or fire engine reds.
When it comes to blues, look for greyed, dusty blues like Resene Weathered Blue from the Karen Walker Paints range or, for a more teal hue, Resene Seachange. In yellows and golds, look for the shades of a fading sunset like Resene Noosa or Resene Tussock.
The softened edge of these colours not only helps your spaces feel soothing and comfortable to be in, when used in a low sheen or flat finish they can even take on the appearance of a subtle chalky or suede-like texture that emphasises the sense that has been created in nature. You can amplify this sense further by using lower sheen and matte finishes such as Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen and Resene SpaceCote Flat.
Touch the earth
Texture is an important part of an earthy-feeling and nature-inspired interior. That can mean physical texture that comes from natural fibres like flax and linen, rough sawn timber and bark or stone.
Rustic reds and charcoal floorboards bring earthy variety and texture to a nature-inspired dining room.
It can also mean visual texture that comes from showcasing the natural wood grain of furniture or built features like floors, ceilings and beams.
Use Resene Colorwood Natural wood stain to elevate the natural colour and grain of your wood or try for subtle colour effects that can make your space feel cohesive while keeping the wood grain at the heart of the look. Stain washes like Resene Colorwood Shore Thing or a tinted stain like Resene Bark keep to an earthy colour scheme while making the most of your wood. They can also be a useful way to revive older wood and bring it up to date with your new earthy colour scheme, without losing the grain texture.
Resene FX Paint Effects Medium is an extremely versatile and fun product that can be used to create a range of textured looking “broken” finishes. Try an irregular baked earth look using a base of Resene Grain Brown then Resene Quarter Sorrell Brown (both from the Karen Walker Paints range). For additional texture that resembles plaster cladding, use tinted Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect to your basecoat.
Textured wallpapers that resemble natural fibres like linen, bamboo or woven flax are another way to bring natural earthy notes into your finished room. Like paint effects, wallpaper textures can also be physical or visual.
Try the woven look of Resene Wallpaper Collection M688-07 or the striations of Resene Wallpaper Collection 34799. For an earthy look inspired by the rich colours of mineral seams and geodes, try Resene Wallpaper Collection 39659-3.
Earthy is an interior design term that can mean different things to different people. To get started in an earthy design that suits your colour tastes and make you feel connected to nature, start with the mental image you see when you think of “earthy”. That’s the best place to start pulling together your favourite colours and textures.

Rates easing, but the bottom may be near
The latest inflation data showed a small lift — headline CPI rose to 3.0% (from 2.7%), sitting right at the top of the RBNZ’s 1–3% target band.
Beneath the surface, though, core inflation has eased to around 2.5%, suggesting price pressures are softening despite higher electricity and council rates.
OCR Outlook
With inflation still under control and growth sluggish, most economists expect the RBNZ to trim the Official Cash Rate by 25 bps in November, bringing it to 2.25%, and possibly another cut by early 2026.
This would take the OCR close to 2.0% – supporting a gentle easing cycle rather than aggressive cuts.
Home Loan Rate Direction
We’re likely to see modest downward pressure on mortgage rates in the near term, particularly on floating and short-term fixed options. However, large rate drops are unlikely unless inflation falls further than expected.
Longer fixed terms (2–3 years) already appear close to the cycle’s bottom — so for clients wanting stability, now may be a good time to lock in.
Strategy & Considerations
Choosing the right term is key:
• If you expect more OCR cuts ahead, staying shortterm or floating could let you refix lower later.
• If you prefer certainty and budget stability, longer fixed terms remain attractive.
• For those currently fixed at high rates, it’s worth reviewing break costs and potential savings from breaking and refixing/refinancing.
• Always weigh broader factors — Job security, other debts, and tolerance for future rate rises — Vital when planning your loan structure/fixed terms.
What to Watch
• Upcoming CPI releases – higher inflation could pause or reverse the RBNZ’s easing path.
• RBNZ Monetary policy statements – look for language around “inflation risks” or “capacity pressures.”
The recent inflation bump hasn’t derailed the RBNZ’s easing trajectory.
With core inflation cooling and growth soft, expect gradual OCR reductions over the next two quarters possibly totaling around 50 bps by early 2026.
That said, rates remain sensitive to new data, so staying informed — and regularly reviewing your loan structure — will be vital in the months ahead.

资本利得税：
工党在经济低潮中的一场税改豪赌
文/NZET编辑部
在下届大选临近前夕，新西兰工党 (Labour Party)昨日宣布，拟于2027 年起对投资性住宅和商业物业实施 28%的资本利得税(Capital Gains Tax 简称 CGT)，作为其若赢得选举后 将优先推行的税制改革 承诺。
一场选前的“政策信号”
工党表示，该税拟于2027年7月1日生 效，适用于非自住房产，而自住房、农 场、企业资产、KiwiSaver 与遗产等类 别将被豁免。
政策预期每年可为政府带来约7亿纽 币税收，用于支持免费全科医生就诊 等公共服务，这项声明并非立法决定， 而是工党选战纲领的一部分。
工党党魁Chris Hipkins表示，若赢得 选举并组建政府，CGT 将成为“首批实 施的财政改革措施之一”，旨在“纠正 税制失衡，使投机获利者与劳动收入 者承担更公平的税负”。
从税制公平角度看，工党的逻辑并不 难理解，长期以来，新西兰并未实行全 面的资本利得税制度，社会认为劳动 收入被高度征税，而房地产收益几乎 免税，形成了结构性不平衡。
CGT的推出意在弥补这一缺口，将部 分财富再分配给公共系统，特别是在 医疗支出持续攀升的背景下，政府需 要新的财政来源来维持福利承诺。
从制度意义上讲，这是一项“公平导向 型”的改革尝试，也让资本收益重新回 到税制讨论的核心位置。
税改时机：公平与复苏的正面冲突 然而，在税改背景下，现实经济环境不 容乐观，即便储备银行已开始降息，经 济仍处于低位徘徊阶段，失业率上升、 房市低迷、企业信心不足，经济修复远 未稳固。
各界批评指出，工党的资本利得税方 案税基过窄，仅锁定投资房产，避开了 高净值人群主要财富来源，因此“改革 不彻底”；同时，年均约7亿纽元的财政 贡献规模有限，难以真正支撑医疗资 金缺口。
政策选在房市低迷与经济尚未复苏之 际，被担忧将拖累交易、抑制投资，导 致税收高度波动。房产投资者认为遭 到“定向惩罚”，而左翼势力则批评政 策力度不够，无法缩小财富差距。
另有声音强调，估值、扣除、通胀调整 等执行细节仍未明确，恐造成避税增 加、税务争议上升并推高行政成本。在 这样的脆弱周期中推出可能影响投资 回报的新税，无疑将对市场信心造成 压力。
政府希望通过改革传递“税制公平”的 政治决心，但市场担忧则聚焦于资本 利得税是否会拖慢经济复苏步伐。
新西兰财政部长Nicola Willis批评工 党此举是在“最脆弱的经济时刻引入 最具风险的政策”，认为这将削弱市场 信心并拖慢经济复苏。
换言之，工党押上的是未来经济恢复 的速度与力度，若改革顺利，税制公正 性将得到强化；若时机失误，可能导致 投资动力进一步疲弱，经济修复周期 被再次拉长。
从制度设计层面看，资本利得税的成 败不在口号，而在细节，资产估值方 式、扣除标准与持有期边界等都需在
立法阶段清晰界定，否则将为避税行 为留下空间，引发执行争议，甚至影响 海外资本流入。
经济低潮时的政策风险
尤其在经济脆弱时期，信任是一种稀 缺资源，一旦税改损害市场信心，其成 本将远高于新增税收。
因此，资本利得税的推出已经超越财 政技术讨论，成为检验社会共识与政 府执政能力的一面镜子。它象征着公 平诉求，也伴随着“经济焦虑”；它体现 政策勇气，同时也暴露政治风险。
对普通选民而言，这项政策意味着政 府愿意直面结构性问题，但为经济走 势带来不确定性；对投资者而言，它是 对市场稳定性的考验，更是对政府治 理能力的检验。工党选择在经济下行 阶段推行税改，本质上是一场关于信 任与信心的豪赌。
在信心脆弱的时期触动税制最敏感的 部分，需要的远不止政治宣示，还必须 依靠精准执行与长期承诺。因为这场 豪赌押上的，不只是选票与声望，而是 新西兰经济复苏的未来。
对普通选民而言，这项政策既象征“纠 偏的勇气”，也代表着“经济的不确定 性”；而对市场而言，它是一场信任的 考验——信任政府能否平衡公平，信任 经济能否在税改中保持韧性。
无论工党最终能否赢得选举，资本利 得税都已成为未来财政政策讨论的分 水岭。它的意义可能远超财政层面， 因为在经济下行、信心脆弱的时刻，任 何触动财富结构的政策，都不仅是经 济议题，更是一场关于信任与信心的 考验。
