Questions
Things people ask.
Do I have to file a tax return for my rental?
Yes — rental income goes in an IR3 return each year. Nestie prepares and files it for you. Even if your rental made a loss, it usually still needs to be returned.
Who actually does the work?
Nestie is run by Playdough, a chartered accounting firm and IRD-registered tax agent in Petone, Wellington. The routine preparation is automated to keep things fast and affordable, but a qualified Chartered Accountant reviews and files every return — and there's a real person to ask if you have a question.
Is my information safe?
Your data is held in New Zealand and Australia and handled by a registered tax agent under professional confidentiality obligations. We only ask for what's needed to prepare your return.
