Common questions
How is income tax worked out in New Zealand?
There is no tax-free allowance: income tax starts at 10.5% on the first dollar and rises through the scale's bands to 39% on income over $180,000. The ACC earners' levy of 1.75%, on earnings up to $156,641, is collected with it, and the two together are your PAYE.
What is the independent earner tax credit?
A credit of $520 a year that comes off your PAYE on an ME tax code, for income from $24,000 to $66,000. Above that it reduces until it reaches nothing at $70,000.
How much is a student loan repayment?
12% of your pay above the repayment threshold of $24,128 a year, taken through your pay when your tax code ends in SL. A bonus is counted in the year's income, so it can add to the repayment.
