    They do. It's called income tax.

    Correct, and though not a CGT as such, it can be as high as the top marginal tax rate. which BTW is a lot higher than the CGT tax proposed by Labour. And it applies to any trader, not just in property.

    From time to time IRD quietly announce their focus areas. Property traders have been on the radar for several years, supported by increased compliance budget.
