Tax refund may be coming your way as IRD rolls out automatic tax assessments

Brian from New Lynn

More than 2.5 million New Zealanders will receive their first ever automatic tax assessment over the next two months, with the first wave going out today, Inland Revenue (IRD) has announced. From today, May 20, through to the end of July, Inland Revenue will let salary and wage earners know if they have a refund owing, a bill to pay or neither, IRD said in a statement. Deputy Commissioner Sharon Thompson said the refunds will be going out in batches rather than all at the same time.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
