olesouthernbelle and Melnq8~

Thanks for reading the blog and for your comments. Blogging was a great way to share our New Zealand experience with friends and family during our time abroad. It is also really great to have a journal of my thoughts about living overseas now that I am back in the states.

stragic: Blogging your trip was an excellent idea. I plan to suggest it to my DS.

Can anyone here tell me what the income tax rate is in NZ for migrate?

The tax rate is the same for everyone - it is three tier

1 - Up to $38,000 a year is a rate of 19.5%

2 - Up to $60,000 a year is a rate of 33.%

3. Above is 39%

Hopefully these will be dropping soon.

wilees: Thanks - seems steep.

No, it's my DS that will be going. I'm not sure what his plan is as for as housing at this point.

Yeah, I got it.
