税务局、MBIE 和 WorkSafe 都将出租房屋作为一项业务进行分类和管理。

这意味着房东有经营业务的法律义务,但许多人质疑提供住宅出租住宿是否是一项业务。

但提供住宅租金与其他业务不同。取消租金收入的利息扣除,而其他企业可以扣除利息,就是一个很好的例子。

Providing a service to make a profit fits the definition of business, but there is ongoing debate over whether private landlords who rent out homes should qualify.

If someone collects rent on a rental home they are running a business, whether their rental property is a deliberate investment, or an accidental acquisition, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) website states.

That means there are rules and regulations that landlords need to comply with.

But landlords say they are not treated like other businesses, and are subject to more rules and regulations, and that is not fair.

One counter-argument is that because housing is considered a human right, landlords have a responsibility to provide a decent home, and that makes them different to other types of businesses.

Inland Revenue, MBIE, and WorkSafe all classify, control and treat the provision of rental accommodation as a business.

That means landlords have the legal obligations of being in business, and yet many people question whether providing residential rental accommodation is a business.

If someone collects rent on a rental home they are running a business, according to MBIE.

If someone collects rent on a rental home they are running a business, according to MBIE.

There is no hesitation in treating motels or hotels, which rent out rooms by the night or week, as a business. Landlords rent out properties for longer periods of time, but that is the only difference.

But the provision of residential rentals is treated differently to other businesses. The removal of interest deductibility on rental income, while other businesses are able to deduct interest, is a good example.
