FIF Tax Explained

A plain-English guide to NZ's Foreign Investment Fund rules — FDR, CV, RAM, the $50k threshold, and how to file.

Coming soon

We're working on the full guide

We're writing a detailed walk-through of the FIF rules: when they apply, how to choose between FDR and CV, the new RAM method for recent migrants, the $50,000 cost threshold, quick-sale adjustments, and what to put on your IR3.

In the meantime, our FIF calculator runs the numbers for you across all available methods and shows the lowest valid tax — with worked steps you can hand to your accountant.

Check back soon — this guide is part of our next content cycle.
