Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Government Bill Explanatory note General policy statement This taxation omnibus Bill introduces amendments to the following legislation: • • • • • Goods and Services Tax Act 1985; Income Tax Act 2007; Tax Administration Act 1994; Student Loan Scheme Act 2011; and Child Support Act 1991.

Broadly, the policy proposals in this Bill fall into 4 categories.
The first category sets the annual rates of income tax for the 2019–20 tax year.

The second of these categories comprises proposals aimed at improving current tax settings within a broad-base, low-rate framework.

This framework, helps ensure that taxes are fair and efficient, and that they impede economic growth as little as pos- sible.

It also helps keep compliance costs low and minimises opportunities for avoid- ance and evasion.
The framework underpins the Government’s revenue strategy and helps maintain confidence that the tax system is broadly fair, which is crucial to encouraging voluntary compliance.

Although New Zealand has relatively strong tax settings, it is important to maintain the tax system and ensure that it continues to be fit for purpose.

Changes in the eco- nomic environment, business practice, or interpretation of the law can mean that the tax system becomes unfair, inefficient, complex, or uncertain.
The tax system needs to be responsive to accommodate these concerns.

The third category relates to proposals aimed at modernising and improving the set- tings for the administration of social policy by Inland Revenue.

This includes simpli- fication measures relating to student loans and Working for Families.
114—1 2 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note The fourth category consists of proposal aimed at providing consistency with the broad objectives of government for international co-operation.

This covers amend- ments to ensure that the New Zealand is able to meet its international obligations con- cerning automatic exchange of information.
The main policy measures within this Bill have been developed in accordance with the Generic Tax Policy Process (GTPP).

It is a very open and interactive engagement process between the public and private sectors, which helps ensure that tax and social policy changes are well thought through.

This process is designed to ensure better, more effective policy development through early consideration of all aspects, and likely impacts, of proposals, and increased opportunities for public consultation.
The GTPP means that major tax initiatives are subject to public scrutiny at all stages of their development.

As a result, Inland Revenue and Treasury officials have the opportunity to develop more practical options for reform by drawing on information provided by the private sector and the people who will be affected.

The final stage of the GTPP is a post-implementation review of new legislation and identification of remedial issues that need correcting for the new legislation to have its intended effect.
Further information on the GTPP can be found at http://taxpo- licy.ird.govt.nz/how-we-develop-tax-policy.

The following is a brief summary of the specific policy measures contained in this Bill.

A comprehensive explanation of all the policy items is provided in a commen- tary on the Bill that is available at http://taxpolicy.ird.govt.nz/publications/2018-com- mentary-argosrrm-bill/overview.
Confirmation of annual rates of income tax for the 2019–20 tax year The Income Tax Act 2007 requires the rates of income tax to be set each tax year by an annual taxing Act.

The Bill proposes to set the annual rates of income tax for the 2019–20 tax year at the same rates currently specified in schedule 1, part A of the Income Tax Act 2007 (that is, confirm that the rates remain unchanged).
GST on low-value imported goods Goods and services tax (GST) as a broad-based consumption tax is intended to apply to all consumption that occurs in New Zealand, ensuring the system is fair, efficient, and simple.

However, GST is not usually collected on imported goods valued below $400 for administrative cost reasons.

When GST was introduced in 1986, few New Zealand consumers imported low-value goods directly from offshore suppliers.
Therefore, the compliance and administrative costs involved in collecting GST on imported goods below the Customs de minimis were considered to outweigh the benefits of collection at that time.

The growth of e-commerce has meant that the volume of goods on which no GST is collected has become increasingly significant.

This raises concerns about the impact that this uneven GST treatment may have on the competitiveness of domestic retailers and on future tax revenues.
Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 3 The amendments proposed in this Bill address the non-collection of GST on low- value imported goods in order to maintain the broad base of New Zealand’s GST sys- tem and provide a level playing field for domestic and offshore suppliers.

The non-taxation of low-value imported goods is an international issue faced by countries that have a GST or Value Added Tax (VAT) system.
Since 1 July 2018, off- shore suppliers selling goods valued at or below A$1,000 to consumers in Australia are required to collect and return Australian GST on these sales if their total taxable supplies to Australia exceed the A$75,000 GST registration threshold.

The European Union (EU) has also introduced legislation that will require non-EU suppliers to col- lect VAT on low-value goods imported from outside the EU from 1 January 2021.
The proposed amendments, which would apply to supplies made on and after 1 October 2019, are consistent with these international developments.

Supplies to consumers The Bill proposes amendments to the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 which would apply GST to supplies of “low-value goods” by non-resident suppliers to consumers in New Zealand.

Low-value goods are those that are valued at or below $1,000.
Supplies to GST-registered businesses GST would not apply to supplies of low-value goods made to New Zealand GST- registered businesses.

As GST-registered businesses are not able to claim deductions for GST charged on these supplies, non-resident suppliers will not be required to pro- vide tax invoices for their supplies of low-value goods.
However, if an offshore supplier inadvertently charges GST to a GST-registered busi- ness and the consideration for the supply does not exceed $1,000, the supplier would have the option of providing a tax invoice to allow the registered business to deduct the GST charged.

Registration threshold Offshore suppliers will be required to register and return GST if their taxable supplies to New Zealand exceed $60,000 in a 12-month period, which is the existing domestic registration threshold.
Electronic marketplaces An operator of an electronic marketplace would be required to register and return GST on supplies of low-value goods made through the marketplace.

This is intended to maximise compliance with the rules while also minimising total administration and compliance costs by reducing the number of collection entities that would be required to register.

The proposed rules for electronic marketplaces are broadly consistent with those recently introduced in Australia.
4 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note Re-deliverers “Re-deliverers” are used by consumers when the supplier or electronic marketplace does not offer delivery to New Zealand.

The goods are instead shipped to an address overseas and are brought to New Zealand by the re-deliverer.
Since the supplier or marketplace in this situation would not know that the final destination of the goods is in New Zealand, it would be unreasonable to require them to charge GST.

The re-deliverer will however know that the goods are to be delivered to New Zea- land.
Therefore, as an integrity measure, a re-deliverer would be required to register and return GST on low-value goods that it re-delivers to New Zealand if its total sup- plies for GST purposes (including the low-value goods it re-delivers to New Zealand consumers) exceed $60,000 in a 12-month period.
Determining the tax treatment of a supply A non-resident supplier of low-value goods must treat a customer as not being regis- tered for GST unless the customer notifies the supplier that they are registered, or provides their GST registration number or New Zealand business number.

A provi- sion would allow the Commissioner of Inland Revenue and a supplier to agree on an alternative method of determining whether a customer is a GST-registered business.
If a consumer knowingly provides false or misleading information to avoid the pay- ment of GST, the existing knowledge offences would apply.

Additionally, where the amount of GST involved is substantial or where the behaviour is repeated, the Com- missioner of Inland Revenue would have discretion to register the consumer and require them to pay the GST that should have been charged.

Other GST matters The Bill proposes a number of technical and remedial amendments to the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985.
Capital raising costs The first set of GST remedial amendments in the Bill clarify the scope of the rules allowing GST-registered persons to deduct GST incurred on costs of raising capital.

The existing law is unclear on whether a registered person can claim input tax deduc- tions for capital raising costs in situations where the funds raised are used in refinanc- ing the taxable activity.

An amendment is proposed to clarify that input tax is deducti- ble in such situations.
Where a capital raising transaction is carried out by a treasury company or holding company, it may be another group company that ultimately uses the funds raised in a taxable activity.

The amendments clarify that input tax deductions for capital raising costs are available to the company that ultimately uses the funds in these situations.

GST treatment of vouchers The Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 contains special rules for vouchers, tokens, and stamps.
The default rule is that GST applies on the issue of a voucher (the issue Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 5 basis).

However, a significant exception allows the option for GST to apply on the redemption of a voucher (the redemption basis) if the issuer of the voucher and the supplier of the goods and services that it is redeemed for are separate persons and agree to use the redemption basis.
There are issues with the current criteria for when the redemption basis for vouchers can be used, in particular— • • The issue basis is the only option if the issuer and redeemer of the voucher are the same person.

This is problematic in relation to cross-border transactions, as applying GST on the issue basis can give rise to either double taxation or double non-taxation of cross-border goods and services.
The Bill proposes an amendment to clarify that GST applies on the redemption of a voucher and not at the time it is issued in situations where the voucher is or could be redeemed for cross-border goods and services, regardless of whether there is more than one party involved in the issue and redemption of the voucher or not.
Where there are more than 2 parties involved (that is, where the issuer, seller, and redeemer of the voucher are different persons) the GST legislation gives rise to a technical issue about which party is liable to pay the GST.

The Bill proposes an amendment to clarify that it is the entity redeeming the voucher that has the GST liability.
Treatment of arranging services relating to goods located offshore The Bill proposes an amendment to correct an unintended change to the GST treat- ment of certain arranging services, resulting from an amendment that was made in 2016 to allow the rules applying GST to inbound cross-border supplies of services and intangibles to work properly.

The proposed amendment concerns services that consist of the arranging of services supplied directly in connection with goods situated outside New Zealand.
The issue is that the arranging services may not be zero-rated, even though the underlying services that they arrange (such as overseas storage, handling, and logistics) will be clearly zero-rated.

This is an anomalous result as the GST treatment of arranging services generally follows that of the underlying services being arranged.
The proposed amendment ensures that services that consist of the arranging of under- lying services supplied directly in connection with moveable personal property loca- ted outside New Zealand at the time the underlying services are performed are zero- rated, in line with the policy intent and the previous treatment that applied prior to 1 October 2016.

Ring-fencing rental losses Under current New Zealand tax settings, tax is applied on a person’s net income.
Deductions that relate to particular activities or investments are not generally ring- fenced.

This means there is generally no restriction on deductions in respect of a loss- making activity or investment reducing tax on income from other sources (although there are some exceptions to this general treatment).
6 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note While rental housing is not formally tax favoured, there is an argument that it may be under-taxed given that tax-free capital gains are often realised when rental properties are sold.

The fact that rental property investments are often make persistently loss- making indicates that expected capital gains are an important motivation for many investors purchasing rental property.
While interest and other expenses are fully deductible, not all of the economic income generated from rental housing is subject to tax.

There is therefore an argument that, to the extent deductible expenses in the long-term exceed income from rents, those expenses in fact relate to the untaxed gain on sale, so should not be deductible unless the gain is also taxed.
Currently, investors (particularly highly-geared investors) have part of the cost of servicing their mortgages subsidised by the reduced tax on their other income sour- ces, helping them to outbid owner-occupiers for properties.

The Bill proposes to ring-fence deductions in respect of residential rental properties to the extent the deductions exceed income from the properties.

This means the excess deductions cannot be used to reduce tax on other income.
The proposed rules would apply from the start of the 2019–20 income year.

Portfolio or property-by-property basis The amendments would apply on a portfolio basis by default – meaning that investors would calculate their overall profit or loss across their residential portfolio.

However, taxpayers would be able to elect to apply the rules on a property-by-property basis.
Property subject to the rules The amendments would apply to “residential land”, using the definition of “residen- tial land” that already exists for the bright-line test.

The definition includes bare land, but does not include farmland or land used predominantly as business premises.

The amendments would also not apply to a person’s main home or a property that is subject to the mixed-use asset rules.
Land that is identified to Inland Revenue as being on revenue account is also excluded from the proposed amendments, provided either the taxpayer is notifying the Commissioner of their rental income on a prop- erty-by-property basis, or they are notifying the Commissioner of their rental income on a portfolio basis and all properties within the portfolio are on revenue account.
The Bill proposes further exclusions for residential land owned by widely-held com- panies and accommodation provided to employees or other workers where it is neces- sary to provide that accommodation owing to the nature or remoteness of the busi- ness.

Using ring-fenced deductions Taxpayers would be able to offset ring-fenced residential property deductions from 1 year against residential rental income in future years (from any property) or against income on the sale of any residential land.
Ring-fenced deductions would be released if a taxpayer has applied the rules on a property-by-property basis and the property Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 7 ends up being taxed on sale, or if a taxpayer has applied the rules on a portfolio basis and all of the properties within the portfolio are sold and were subject to tax on sale.
The Bill proposes to allow the transfer of ring-fenced deductions between companies in the same wholly-owned group, but these deductions would remain ring-fenced.

Structuring around the rules The Bill proposes specific rules to ensure that interposed entities cannot be used to structure around the ring-fencing rules.

The interposed entity rules are proposed to apply where property is held by an entity that is residential land-rich – being where over 50% of the entity’s assets are residential properties.
Where this threshold is met, it is proposed that interest on borrowings relating to the entity would be treated as rental property expenditure.

The interest would be ring- fenced to the extent it exceeds the appropriate proportion of the entity’s profit from residential properties for the year, taking account of the total interests the person has in the entity.
If capital of a residential land-rich entity is applied to multiple purposes, the interest incurred on borrowings to fund the capital would be apportioned between the uses to which the capital is applied on a pro-rata basis.

This would ensure the appropriate treatment of the interest that relates to the other (non-rental) activity.
Social policy changes The Bill proposes 4 amendments to improve the administration of student loans, Working for Families and child support, along with a technical amendment to the day count tests for student loans to align the law with the policy intent.

Deductions from withholding income Domestic student loan borrowers that earn income other than salary and wages have their student loan assessment calculated at the end of the year based on the amount of income earned in that year.
Some of these borrowers receive schedular, election-day, and casual agricultural income which has a similar treatment to other employment income.

Employers are required to withhold tax at source from that income in the same way as PAYE is deducted from salary and wages.
The Bill proposes that student loan borrowers who receive schedular, election-day, and casual agricultural income should have student loan repayments deducted from their income by their employer in the same way a salary and wage earner does.
Interest-free student loans Moving to Inland Revenue’s new computer system, START, allows policy options that were previously discounted owing to systems constraints to be progressed – such as changes to improve the administration of interest-free loans for New Zealand- based borrowers.

8 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note Currently, student loan borrowers are charged loan interest.
This interest is then writ- ten off for borrowers who are New Zealand-based.

The Bill proposes that loan interest should only be charged to overseas-based borrow- ers, removing the requirement to complete a subsequent write-off for those who are New Zealand-based.

This would remove confusion for borrowers whose statements set out the interest charges and subsequent write-offs.
Alignment of the definitions of “income” Both the Working for Families tax credit and student loan definitions of “income” refer to “net income” as the base income with adjustments made to include or exclude specific types of income.

However, there are a number of differences between the Working for Families and student loan definitions of “income”, which can lead to confusion.
The Bill proposes to align the respective definitions as appropriate by— • • • • Providing a separate legislative provision to specifically state that non-benefi- ciary income from a trust when a person is not the settlor should be included as income for Working for Families purposes (rather than captured as an “other payment”).

This would align with the current student loan income definition.
Aligning the voting interest percentage for student loans with the percentage used for Working for Families to calculate the close company net income not distributed adjustment.

Aligning the adjustment for specific retirement savings contributions for stu- dent loans with other social policy products.

Aligning the adjustment for depreciation loss allowed on the sale of buildings for student loans with that for Working for Families.
Student loan day count tests The Bill proposes amendments to the day count tests used to determine whether a stu- dent loan borrower is New Zealand-based or overseas-based.

The proposed amend- ments would ensure the rules are consistent with their policy intent and Inland Reve- nue’s administrative practice.

Different repayment rules apply to student loan borrowers depending on whether they are New Zealand-based or overseas-based.
A borrower is intended to become over- seas-based if they spend at least 184 consecutive days overseas, beginning on the first day they were overseas, excluding periods in New Zealand totalling less than 31 days.

Conversely, a borrower is intended to be a New Zealand-based borrower if they spend at least 183 consecutive days in New Zealand, excluding periods overseas of less than 31 days.
An unintended legislative change occurred in the rewrite of the Student Loan Scheme Act 1992 into the Student Loan Scheme Act 2011.
This unintended change means that borrowers could become overseas-based after less than 6 months, although Inland Revenue’s administrative practice has been to continue to apply the previous law Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 9 which allowed borrowers to travel overseas for short periods of up to 6 months before becoming overseas-based.
Discretion to grant permanent child support exemption A person can have a child as a result of being the victim of a sex offence and may be made liable to pay child support for that child.

A permanent exemption from paying child support exists for the parent of a child born as a result of a sex offence.

To qual- ify for the exemption, the offender must have been convicted.
However, there are situations when there has not been a conviction for an offence but the reality that a sex offence occurred is in little doubt.

The Bill proposes to give the Commissioner of Inland Revenue discretion to consider other information in order to grant the exemption even though there is no convicted offender.

Additionally, the Commissioner would have the discretion to back date the exemption in situations where she is satisfied this would not negatively impact on a parent or carer.
An exemption could not be back dated to periods before 26 Septem- ber 2006 when the permanent exemption was first introduced.

The discretion would be supported by guidelines that would assist with deciding whether or not the exemption should be granted.

The type of evidence that could sup- port an offence had occurred could include a police report, medical report, or report from another agency that has already assessed the person was the victim of the offence.
The Commissioner would be obliged to revoke the exemption in situations when she subsequently becomes aware that the exemption should not have been granted – for example, when a person is found to have made a false accusation.

Sale and compulsory buy back of pre-1990 forest land emissions units The Bill proposes an amendment to address an issue with the tax treatment of pre-1990 forest land emissions units.

The issue arises when the units are securitised through a sale and compulsory buy back transaction.
The proceeds from the sale of pre-1990 forest land emissions units are generally non- taxable.

However, any subsequent sales of the emissions units are taxable.

It is not appropriate to treat a transaction involving the sale and compulsory buy back of pre-1990 forest land units as a standalone sale, as that transaction amounts to a securitisation of an asset in exchange for a loan.
The proposed amendment will treat the transaction as a loan, including elements that are an excluded financial arrangement, thereby better reflecting the economic sub- stance of the transaction.

Tax records in te reo Māori The Bill proposes amendments to the Tax Administration Act 1994 and the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 to allow tax records to be held in te reo Māori.
The 10 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note amendments codify existing Inland Revenue administrative practices regarding tax- payers holding tax records in te reo Māori.

The proposed amendments do not override the disclosure requirements in the GST Act concerning tax invoices or other similar documents provided by GST registered persons.
PAYE and employee share schemes The Bill proposes to remove a non-tax obstacle relating to financial reporting require- ments for employers electing to account for PAYE on benefits provided to employees under an employee share scheme.

This potential obstacle relates to the costs an employer would need to incur to comply with financial reporting requirements relat- ing to the provision of benefits under an employee share scheme.
Under an International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS 2 Share Based Payment), an employer electing to withhold PAYE from income earned by an employee under the terms of an employee share scheme must, for financial reporting purposes, treat the costs of the scheme as either— • • a fixed cost which is amortised on a straight line basis (the fixed cost method); or an annually revalued amount, with the relevant amount then being an expense for financial reporting purposes.
The annual expense of obtaining an annual revaluation of costs of the scheme could mean that employers may elect not to withhold PAYE from benefits provided to employees under employee share schemes.

The cost of establishing an employee share scheme in a way that permits the employer to treat the costs of the scheme as a fixed cost for financial reporting purposes could also impose significant non-tax com- pliance costs.
IFRS 2 does however permit an employer to apply the fixed cost method for financial reporting purposes if there is a statutory obligation to withhold PAYE in relation to benefits arising under an employee share scheme.

The proposed amendment would allow an employer to make an irrevocable election to withhold PAYE from income earned by employees under an employee share scheme, thus satisfying the statutory obligation threshold.
Trust beneficiaries as settlors Current legislation makes beneficiaries of a trust settlors if they transfer value to the trust.

The policy intent is that the settlor definition is wide, to ensure most transfers of value to a trust are captured.

However, it was not intended that beneficiaries with modest current account balances (where the trust has allocated money to them but it has not been paid out) become settlors as a result.
The Bill proposes an amendment to the definition of “settlor” in the Income Tax Act 2007 to ensure that beneficiaries of a trust do not become settlors when either— Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 11 • • the trust pays a market interest rate, measured by the prescribed fringe benefit tax rate of interest, to the beneficiary to compensate them for the fact they have been allocated money which they have not received yet; or the amount retained in the current account with the trust at the end of the income year is no greater than $25,000.
Cash distributions from co-operative companies In general, co-operative company law permits a co-operative company to make distri- butions of profits from mutual transactions between the company and its shareholders to a specific group of shareholders, provided the company’s constitution permits such a distribution.
However, a rule in the Income Tax Act 2007 allowing co-operative companies to attach imputation credits to a non-deductible cash distribution of profits from mutual transactions during a year requires the relevant distribution to be made to all persons who were shareholders at any time during that year.
The Bill proposes a remedial amendment to the non-deductible cash distribution rule to clarify that a cash distribution of mutual profits in a co-operative company need not be made to all shareholders in order for imputation credits to be attached to the distri- bution, provided such a distribution is permitted by the company’s constitution.
An “anti-imputation streaming” rule in the Income Tax Act 2007 requires imputation credits to be attached to a dividend at the same ratio as those attached to the first divi- dend in a year.

This rule prevents imputation credits from being attached at different ratios for multiple dividends over a year, as this could result in imputation credits being “streamed” to shareholders that are best able to use them.
Imputation credit streaming is a concern because it is counter to the objectives of ensuring that income derived through companies is taxed at the tax rates of the share- holders in the company.

To avoid such concerns, the Bill proposes that the non-deductible cash distribution rule be subject to the anti-imputation streaming rule.
Common Reporting Standard – Investment entities and corporate trustees The Bill proposes an amendment to the implementation legislation for the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to ensure the law works as intended.

The CRS imposes due diligence and reporting obligations on financial institutions.
Information provided to Inland Revenue under the CRS implementation legislation is an integral part of the G20/OECD Automatic Exchange of Information initiative which seeks to provide a global framework for the collection, reporting, and exchange of certain financial account information relating to persons who invest outside their country of tax residence.

The focus of this is to enable international cooperation in the detection and deterrence of offshore tax evasion.
The CRS definition of “financial institution” includes an investment entity that meets certain criteria.

It is ambiguous as to whether or not an investment entity managed by a corporate trustee would be required to comply with the CRS.

However, the policy 12 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note intent, and international consensus, is that such investment entities are obliged to comply with the CRS.
If not addressed, this ambiguity could therefore result in Inland Revenue not being able to meet its automatic exchange of information obligations in some instances.

Loss of earnings insurance The Bill proposes an amendment to ensure that claims paid out under a loss of earn- ings insurance policy are taxable to the recipient in all circumstances, consistent with the policy intent.
The income component of claims received under a loss of earnings insurance policy has always been taxable under the common law.

That principle was codified in an amendment in 2011, which addressed a question over the timing of when the income should be returned.

However, the wording of the amendment has inadvertently resul- ted in the insurance proceeds not being taxable if the policy holder assigns the right to receive the proceeds to another person whose business was not interrupted by the event.
The proposed amendment ensures that if a policy holder assigns a loss of earnings insurance policy to another person, the income component of a claim received by the assignee will be taxable.

A savings provision is also proposed to protect the historic tax positions of taxpayers that have relied on the existing law.
“Level premium” life insurance policies The Bill proposes a technical amendment to the transitional rules that accompanied the substantive reform of the life insurance business taxation rules, to ensure the law better reflects the policy intent of those rules.

The reform of the life insurance business taxation rules provided comprehensive tran- sitional relief for life insurance policies sold on or before 1 July 2010.
The proposed amendment would preserve pricing expectations and assumptions made prior to 1 July 2010 for “level premium” life insurance policies which were sold before the taxation rules for life insurance businesses changed.

Remedial amendments A number of minor remedial matters are also addressed in the Bill, consisting mainly of correcting minor faults of expression, reader’s aids, and incorrect cross-references.
Departmental disclosure statement The Inland Revenue Department is required to prepare a disclosure statement to assist with the scrutiny of this Bill.

The disclosure statement provides access to information about the policy development of the Bill and identifies any significant or unusual legislative features of the Bill.

Amendments to Child Support Act 1991 Clauses 76 to 81 make amendments relating to Part 5A, subpart 4 of the Child Sup- port Act 1991.

This subpart provides for exemptions from the payment of financial support for victims of sex offences.
Clause 76 extends the situations in which a liable parent may apply for an exemption under section 89Y.

Section 89Y currently requires another person to have been con- victed of a sex offence or to have been proved before the Youth Court to have com- mitted a sex offence.

The amendments now allow a liable parent to apply if they believe that another person has committed a sex offence (without a conviction or find- ing of guilt by a court).
Clause 77 allows the Commissioner to grant the exemption under section 89Z if the Commissioner considers that it is likely that another person has committed a sex offence and that the liable parent is a victim of that sex offence.

Section 89Z has also been amended to give the Commissioner a broad discretion to backdate the exemption if the Commissioner considers that it is just and equitable to the child, the liable parent, the carer who receives the financial support, and all other persons concerned.
The exemption may be backdated until a date on or after 26 Sep- tember 2006 (which is the date on which this exemption first came into force under the Child Support Amendment Act 2006).

Clause 78 provides for the exemption to be void under section 89ZA if the Commis- sioner is no longer satisfied that the other person has committed a sex offence.

The amendments also allow a new application to be made, which may be backdated under section 89Z.
Clause 79 consequentially amends section 89ZB to provide for the Commissioner to act as soon as practicable after deciding that an exemption does not apply for the whole or a part of a period for which it was granted.

Clause 80 amends section 152A, which allows the Commissioner to grant relief to a person who has received financial support and who may otherwise be required to repay the financial support because an exemption has been backdated.
The amend- ment extends the power to cover exemptions under Part 5A, subpart 4.

Clause 81 inserts transitional provisions relating to the changes to these exemption provisions.

The transitional provisions allow an application to be made in respect of sex offences committed before or after the new provisions come into force and in Explanatory note Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill 21 relation to periods before or after that time.
However, an exemption may be back- dated only to a date on or after 26 September 2006.

Amendments to Student Loan Scheme Act 2011 Clauses 83 to 93 amend the Student Loan Scheme Act 2011.
Clause 83 amends section 4, with 2 main effects as follows: • • salary or wages from employment as a casual agricultural employee or as an election day worker (as both are defined in section YA 1 of the Income Tax Act 2007) will become subject to student loan scheme salary deductions as if they were secondary employment earnings: schedular payments will become subject to student loan scheme salary deduc- tions as if they were primary employment earnings and, to the extent that deductions are not made, will be subject to an end-of-year repayment obliga- tion but will not be included for the purpose of calculating interim payments.
See also clauses 86 (which amends section 73) and 91 (which inserts new sec- tion 202A).

Clauses 84 and 85 amend sections 22 and 23, which are the tests for when a borrower is New Zealand-based and when a borrower is overseas-based.

The changes clarify the application of the day-count test to ensure that, if there are periods that could serve as qualifying periods for both tests, borrowers are treated as New Zealand- based.

The changes are intended to be in favour of borrowers.
See new section 23(1A), which was a tie-breaker provision that was previously in section 38AC(3) in the Student Loan Scheme Act 1992 but that was omitted from the Student Loan Scheme Act 2011.

The changes are backdated to 1 April 2012, the date on which the Student Loan Scheme Act 2011 came into force.

Example Bob is New Zealand-based, then goes overseas for 155 days, then returns to New Zea- land permanently (for more than 183 days).
A tie-breaker is needed because, in a 184-day period that starts when Bob went overseas and ends 24 days after Bob’s return, Bob has been in New Zealand for less than 31 days, so Bob could be treated as overseas-based throughout that 184-day period.

The amendments, with the tie-breaker, clarify that Bob is not to be treated as absent for the 24 days at the end of the 184-day period while he is in New Zealand.

Therefore, Bob is New Zealand-based for the entire period.
Clauses 87 to 90 amend sections 134, 135, and 137 to provide that loan interest will be charged only to overseas-based borrowers.

This is already the practical effect under the Student Loan Scheme Act 2011.

The clauses remove the current require- ment for the Commissioner to complete a subsequent write-off for those borrowers who are New Zealand-based.

Clause 92 amends Schedule 2 to apply certain PAYE rules that relate to schedular payments to student loan scheme deductions from schedular payments.
22 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill Explanatory note Clause 93 amends Schedule 3 to make 3 minor changes to align the borrower’s income for student loan scheme purposes with the adjustments that are made to income for Working for Families purposes.
The changes are as follows: • • • an adjustment so that certain contributions to retirement savings schemes are excluded income (to align with section MB 1(5B) of the Income Tax Act 2007): an adjustment so that an amount of depreciation loss on disposal of buildings that was allowed in 2002–03 or earlier years is excluded income (to align with section MB 1(5C) of the Income Tax Act 2007): an adjustment so that the interests of dependent children are attributed to a per- son who is a major shareholder in a close company (to align with section MB 4 of the Income Tax Act 2007).

(7E) Where a person makes a supply of services to the recipient of a supply of dis- tantly taxable goods, the consideration for the supply of services is part of the value of the supply of distantly taxable goods if— (a) the consideration for the supply of services relates solely to the supply of services and the supply of distantly taxable goods; and 11 Part 2 cl 13 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2019–20, GST Offshore Supplier Registration, and Remedial Matters) Bill (b) (c) (d) (e) the supply of services is made or arranged or facilitated by the supplier or underlying supplier of the distantly taxable goods; and the supply of services is directly in connection with the distantly taxable goods or is of insurance of the goods; and the supply of services would be chargeable with tax at the rate of 0% in the absence of this subsection; and 5 the supply of services and the supply of distantly taxable goods do not form a single supply.

For a taxable period for which the election is effective under subsection (2), a supply by the electing supplier, after the election, of an item of goods having an entry value greater than the entry value threshold is a supply of distantly taxable goods if the goods are delivered at a place in New Zealand.
The Commissioner may agree with an election by a registered person who is a non-resident, or an operator of a marketplace or a redeliverer, to be subject to requirements other than those given by subsection (1) for an election by the registered person under this section if the Commissioner is satisfied that the agreed requirements appropriately balance fiscal risk against the compliance costs of the requirements for the person, taking into account— (a) (b) whether the registered person and associated persons have a good history of previous compliance with the requirements of the tax Acts and the tax laws of countries and territories outside New Zealand; and the total value of items of goods, each having an entry value greater than the entry value threshold, that the registered person sells in a period and are delivered at places in New Zealand; and (c) other considerations that the Commissioner considers to be relevant.
