Are YOU paying too much tax?
If you have recently started getting your NZ Super, you will need to make sure you have used the correct tax code. If not, you could be paying too much tax. If NZ Super is your only source of income, you should be on the “M” tax code, but there are other tax codes that could apply to you. To find out what your current tax code is, please visit Inland Revenue at www.ird.govt.nz... and search ‘work out my tax code’. You’ll need to contact Work and Income if you need to change your tax code, eg, if you stop working, so they can pay you the right amount of NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension. To do this, you will need to complete a Tax code declaration (IR330) from Inland Revenue (you can do this online at www.ird.govt.nz...) and then print it off and drop it off to reception at your Work and Income local service centre, or post it to your local service centre. To find out more about changing your tax code for NZ Super and Veteran’s Pension go to www.workandincome.govt.nz...

What it feels like speaking with a MAGA American:
Me: “Your total is $44.19. Cash or card?”
The customer hands me a credit card but the chip inside it has been hole-punched out.
Me: “Uh, I don’t think this will work.”
Customer: “Why not? It hasn’t expired and I have money in my account.”
Me: “Sir… the chip is gone.”
Customer: “I didn’t want the chip.”
Me: “The card won’t work without it.”
Customer: “It just means I can’t enter my PIN, but you can still swipe it.”
Me: “I don’t think it will work, sir.”
Customer: “Just swipe it.”
I swipe it to prove a point.
Me: “It’s not working, sir.”
Customer: “Then you’re doing it wrong. Swipe it again!”
I do so again with the same result.
Customer: “Maybe you should swipe it so that the magnetic strip isn’t the thing being swiped?”
Me: *Swiping it as suggested.* “Sure, why not? About as much chance of it going through without the magnetic strip as there is without the chip – oh look, it didn’t work.”
Customer: “Your machine must be broken!”
