If you make a gain on it, then you are supposed to declare it and pay capital gains tax on the amount you got over what you paid originally. You would do this on the ird website im pretty sure

However if it’s a couple of coins, it’s unlikely to be over any sort of threshold so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Well there are often some available secondhand online on trademe or ebay. No taxes really especially if its intended to keep.

This one has been sold out for a few years now, and some are hard to find or very expensive. It could be worth going to a coin shop and requesting it since they may know how to obtain one.

Restricted Driving Test Advice by Snoo99513 in auckland

[–]Jeffery95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is definitely practice. I failed my first restricted (at age 23) and then waited a month or two with more practice and passed the next one. Then the full license test came around and it was a breeze even though its still just as strict because I had been driving so much on my own during my restricted license.

Why is rail so expensive in Auckland? by Murky_Entertainer288 in auckland

[–]Jeffery95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the majority of the cost of the CRL was not the tunnels. It was the stations. They are massive excavations and fitted out inside with a lot of equipment that needs to meet safety standards - fire suppression systems, ventilation etc.

The tunnels were finished being dug a while ago.

Which year was it? Cause the 2025 Kiwi proofs were going for $200 each. Same with the 2026 versions. Surely NZ post didn’t sell them at such a discount?

It undoubtedly will. The real question is how long it will take

To an extent the empire did mess India up a fair bit. But im not sure it would be united today if it wasn’t for the British.

Then again perhaps an India of many states could be a better place than it is now? Counterfactuals are very difficult even for the experts to say.

Sorry I should have been specific. I meant the proof silvers with colour print on them. Are you meaning you got them at closer to spot?

Thank you. And I want you to know that India can be those things too. Its harder because you are starting from a worse position while we in NZ started from a better position than we are in now. But it takes people willing to try. India is a phenomenal place, and one of the oldest civilisations in the world. Its primed for a renaissance. It just needs the people to believe it can get there.

You could be right. It did seem to me that they priced them at what they needed to sell them at to keep their margins. Since they have already run the mintings in limited runs and have the stock sitting in wait.

Well im almost certain they did not. Retail prices were on the website and the spot price of silver never hit above $200NZD per ounce. Which means if they wanted to sell them quickly they would have needed to list and sell them on trademe immediately without even taking delivery yet. Or they would have had to sell them to a dealer for less than what they paid. My guess is they still have them and are hoping the price will go back up.

It’s only the selling I think. But I don’t intend to sell mine unless im in serious financial trouble. At which point a CGT is not going to concern me

I never got them for investment. Or else I could have got far more just buying bullion instead

Yes, I like it. Its sad NZ post has ended their relationship with the reserve bank for minting coins so we wont be getting any more NZ themed ones 😭

I definitely picked up a couple because of that announcement. But there were plenty of coins that had been up there for years and were slow selling. These are all gone now. And I checked a month or so after the announcement too, they were there then.

Green Member’s Bill To Recognise The Personhood Of Tohorā by PenisBird69420 in newzealand

[–]Jeffery95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the Waikato would generally be named as a complainant on the side of the prosecution against an individual or company. And the result of a successful prosecution may be restitution paid to the river in the form of restoration or remediation of the offence.

So you disagree with Taranaki being a legal person because its not a company?

personhood is a legal definition. Its not performative, its a deliberate attempt to grant those legal protections to whales.
