Two GST returns, one project. Each party files their own. RJF is the legal vendor and is liable for output GST. WFR claims WFR's input GST. The JV gets reconciled between parties separately.
If a party doesn't pay their GST. IRD chases the party whose return shows the unpaid GST. The other party has no IRD liability — but may have a contractual claim under the JV deed. Confirm the JV is structured as separate registered persons, not a deemed partnership under s 57 GST Act.
Settlement. RJF receives all sale proceeds, settles output GST, pays RJF's costs, then transfers WFR's share + reimbursement of WFR's actual cash spend.
This isn't tax advice. Confirm GST and income tax treatment with a NZ chartered accountant. Spec build profits are ordinary income under s CB 6–CB 14 of the Income Tax Act 2007.
