Tax system
Understanding New Zealand taxes
The amount you keep can depend on several parts of the New Zealand tax and payroll system.
Income tax
Income tax is calculated using the tax brackets and rates that apply to your taxable income.
ACC levy
Certain employment income may be subject to a levy that helps fund the Accident Compensation Corporation scheme.
GST
Goods and Services Tax applies to many goods and services, although it is generally not part of a direct take-home pay calculation.
