New Zealand landlords can reduce their taxable income by claiming deductible expenses incurred while generating rental income.

Common claims include:

- Insurance, rates, and legal fees

- Repairs and maintenance

- Property management and accountant fees

A key change is the restoration of interest deductibility, with a planned 60% deduction for 2023/24, rising to 100% from 2025/26. Given the complexity of tax rules, seeking advice from a professional accountant is crucial to ensure compliance and maximize savings.
