NZ landlords can reduce taxable income by claiming expenses incurred to generate rent. Deductible expenses include:

- Insurance, rates, and repairs

- Property management and accountant fees

The rules for interest deductibility are being restored. The government is phasing it back in, with a proposed 80% deduction for 2024/25 and 100% from 2025/26. Capital expenses that improve a property's value cannot be claimed.

Given the complexity of tax laws, consulting an accountant is highly recommended.
