The IRD Is Watching You: Why Every Kiwi Property Investor Is Now a Target
Guest: Dan Lowe | Tax Partner, Grant Thornton NZ
If you’re a property investor in New Zealand, it’s time to wake up.
The IRD’s focus has shifted—and Kiwi landlords, developers, and short-term accommodation owners are now firmly on the radar.
In this urgent episode, we sit down with Dan Lowe, a leading tax partner at Grant Thornton New Zealand, to expose how the Inland Revenue Department is changing its enforcement strategy in 2025—and why property investors are now priority targets.
🔍 What’s changed?
From new data-matching tools to refined audit algorithms, the IRD is evolving fast. Gone are the days of passive monitoring. Today, they are cross-referencing your income, expenses, property ownership, and even your online footprint with increasing accuracy—and doing it quietly.
📉 Why investors are exposed:
Many Kiwi property investors are still relying on outdated advice or hoping their returns won’t raise red flags. But that’s no longer a safe strategy. Whether you own one rental or a multi-property portfolio, the compliance bar has been raised—and the cost of getting it wrong has never been higher.
🎯 This video is a must-watch for:
Residential landlords
Property investors and developers
Airbnb and short-stay operators
Accountants and financial advisers
Anyone earning income from NZ real estate
Whether you’re a hands-on landlord or just starting to build your portfolio, understanding the IRD’s current approach could be the difference between peace of mind and a five-year retrospective audit. Dan Lowe shares practical, no-fluff advice based on real cases and what’s unfolding right now.
📌 Don't wait for an audit letter to get informed.
