• 1

  New Zealand publishes capital gains tax figures in New Zealand Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in New Zealand rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  Currency is part of the math: this New Zealand capital gains tax computes in New Zealand Dollar, so convert a foreign source figure first — applying a local rate to a foreign amount silently inflates or deflates the result.

• 3

  Keep the capital gains tax amount and rate for New Zealand on one period and one basis — monthly New Zealand Dollar figures with an annual rate, or gross with net, give a number that is arithmetically right but misleading in practice.

• Rates in New Zealand move — annually, or with each fiscal announcement — and a Capital Gains Tax result computed from last year's figure misleads budgets and quotes alike. Re-enter the current rate whenever the underlying number changes.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the New Zealand Capital Gains Tax field expects before you type.
