New Zealand Consults on GST Treatment for Intermediaries and Brokers

  • New Zealand Inland Revenue opened consultation on a draft interpretation statement about when intermediaries or brokers in financial products make exempt GST supplies by “arranging” financial services rather than advising on them.
  • The draft covers the meaning of “arranging,” GST treatment of intermediary and broker activities, and how it interacts with IS0052 on financial planning fees.
  • Comments on PUB00463 are due by July 2, 2026.
  • Inland Revenue also released an officials’ issues paper on broader current GST issues where legislation may not match policy intent or could be improved technically.
  • Submissions on the issues paper are due by June 29, 2026.
