In this episode, we discuss a hidden tax that most Kiwis don't think about when buying a house with their parents.
We all know about the Bright Line Test. That's New Zealand's version of a capital tax gains tax.

This is a tax most Kiwis won't be thinking about. But with mortgage brokers reporting that up to 50% of first home buyers get help from the Bank of Mum and Dad ... this is a tax you need to know about.
