Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on Luxon avoiding paying a bright-line tax on his Wellington apartment
Manage episode 442923787 series 2098282
The Prime Minister seems to have narrowly avoided a large tax bill for selling his Wellington apartment.
He paid $795,000 for it in 2020, and 1News reports it's been sold for $975,000.
When it was purchased, a five-year bright-line test applied - under which Luxon would have owed $70,000 in tax.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Luxon seems proud to defend this apartment sale.
