Retirement Villages – Tax Incentives
Readers of my Opportunities newsletters may remember a recent one that offered investment in a retirement village in Christchurch. One was briefly mentioned in my last Newsletter a couple of weeks ago.
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you.

Readers of my Opportunities newsletters may remember a recent one that offered investment in a retirement village in Christchurch. One was briefly mentioned in my last Newsletter a couple of weeks ago.
Well I’ve received a number of enquiries about this and the tax related
benefits it offers investors. So, as Bob Dylan says above, why wait any
longer for the rather unique paybacks this type and form of investment
provides.
Many of you will remember the times of very high personal taxation in New Zealand. Examples include the infamous 1958 Black Budget and the tax reforms of the 1980s and subsequent years.
Most of these high personal tax rates have subsequently been removed.
However for high income earners, and for funds, here is an investment
that shows early year tax losses, followed by high income, which may be
an attractive addition to your portfolio. Especially as its structure
enables these losses to be carried forward and offset against other
source taxable income.
The proposal is to provide the funds for the construction of retirement
villages - which fulfil the above criteria - and as they are built and
operated in stages, early sales provide the capital for the continuing
development.
Retirement Villages
Tim Bartells, the promoter of this Village, has been a long-time client
of TBK Capital and we have successfully financed a number of Retirement
Village developments for him. Here is a recent interview with him posted on TVNZ.
Tim has two under way at the moment. The first can be seen here on our website
and currently is being offered to our newsletter subscribers. The
project is now highly advanced. Resource consent has been issued; the
first 21 villas are under construction with 16 sold; and there is strong
demand for more.
Note this is structured in a way that is extremely tax effective for
investors. It results in Tax losses from Day 1 (which translate to an
income stream) and the breakeven point is reached much sooner than a new
Greenfield village. In short all benefits to investors are achieved
immediately.
New village
This second village has not been promoted to our newsletter subscribers
and will be offered to large or institutional investors - especially
those who might be interested in becoming the sole investor/shareholder.
Accordingly it is an ideal passive investment for a fund.
The Village is in Putaruru and will be called Spring Water Country
Estate (named for the 20 rivers in the region and the Blue Springs). It
will consist of 254 units plus a large aged care facility - comprising
rest home, hospital and a dementia facility.
The Offer is a 40% shareholding in this village being 40 shares at $200,000 a share. That investment is projected to return:
-
$10,000,000 tax free.
-
An annual income from resales of $3,600,000 once the village is mature.
-
An asset value on completion of $32,000,000.
Prior to completion of the Village, the shareholder is entitled to 40% of the tax losses - which due to the structure of the Offer - are able to be offset against other taxable income. So in the early years of development, while there is no return to investors, tax losses can be offset against other taxable income.
Passive investment
An investor in all these villages has a completely passive role. The promoter’s companies arrange the:
-
Debt funding.
-
Management of the complete development.
-
Ongoing management of the village.
This
is a rare opportunity in New Zealand to invest in a License to Occupy
retirement village on the ground floor; and reap the full financial
benefits.
Tim, the promoter of the Offer, is very experienced with retirement
villages. He is always happy to talk to potential investors and to
explain in detail the project and the projected returns to investors
from it.
