QB 18/01: Can a fit-out of an existing building be 'improvements' for the purposes of s CB 11?

This Question We've Been Asked sets out the Commissioner's view that a fit-out of an existing building may constitute 'improvements' for the purposes of s CB 11. This means that if a person is in the business of erecting buildings (or is associated with someone in that business), and they do a fit-out of an existing building, and sell that building within 10 years of completing the fit-out, the sale proceeds may be taxable under s CB 11.

Notices issued under s 17 of the Tax Administration Act 1994 held to be invalid

Chatfield & Co Ltd and Chatfield & Co applied to judicially review a decision of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue to issue 15 Notices to Furnish Information under s 17 of the Tax Administration Act 1994 to it ('the Notices'). A partially successful strike out application left one cause of action (being an alleged failure to take into account the terms of a double taxation agreement between the Republic of Korea and New Zealand) to proceed to a substantive hearing. The High Court found that cause of action was made out and granted the application for judicial review, quashing the Notices.

When does the response period to issue a NOR start following the Taxation Review Authority's decision that a NOPA should have been accepted out of time?

The Taxation Review Authority concluded that s 89AC of the Tax Administration Act 1994 applied to this dispute and that the Commissioner of Inland Revenue's ('the Commissioner') Notice of Response ('NOR') was issued within the requisite response period. Even if s 89AC was not applicable, the Commissioner's NOR was issued within the response period under s 89AB (prior to amendment). Furthermore, even if it was not, there has been no deemed acceptance of the disputant's Notice of Proposed Adjustment by the Commissioner under s 89H(2).
