Hans & Fiona from Westmorland

Quote: “A couple, without children, earning üp to $120k PA” (ie $119,999 PA jointly or $60k each) would get an extra $100 per fortnight”.

It's actually only $60.76 /fn !! That's a $1020 pa “HOLE”. (Here's the maths.) … View more
Quote: “A couple, without children, earning üp to $120k PA” (ie $119,999 PA jointly or $60k each) would get an extra $100 per fortnight”.

It's actually only $60.76 /fn !! That's a $1020 pa “HOLE”. (Here's the maths.)
Existing Thresholds
First $14,000 @ 10.5% =$1470
Then $34,000 (to $48,000) @ 17.5% =$5950
Then $12,000 (to $60,000) @ 30% = $3600
Total Tax paid each =$11,020
National's, proposal
First $15,600 @ 10.5% =$1638
Then $37,900 (to $53,500) @ 17.5% = $6632
Then $6500 (to $60,000) @ 30% = $1950
Total Tax paid each =$10,220
ACTUAL SAVINGS =$800PA (each $30.76/fortnight) or $61.53/fn for a couple - NOT $100


“A superannuant couple ($22,869ea X 2) up to $26 boost “ It's ACTUALLY only $8.61 /fn !! That's a $452 pa “HOLE” !
Existing Thresholds
First $14,000 @ 10.5% =$1470
Then $8869 @ 17.5% =$1552
Total Tax paid each =$3022

National's, proposal
First $15,600 @ 10.5% =$1638
Then $7269 @ 17.5% = $1272
Total Tax paid each =$2910
ACTUAL SAVINGS =$112 PA (each $4.30/fortnight) or $8.61/fn for a couple. NOT $26.

When you think about the cuts (austerity) that will be needed. It's actually pretty underwhelming and insulting.

Hello. My name is Emma and i work for WanderSearch Canterbury Charitable Trust.
WanderSearch Canterbury supports vulnerable individuals who are at risk of going missing to live healthy, active lifestyles, in the communities they love.
We support vulnerable individuals who are at risk of going missing by supplying radio frequency devices that can be worn by the individual and allow them to be found quickly by NZ Police and Land Search and Rescue, should they go missing.

We work with all age groups and conditions e.g. dementia, autism and brain injury to name a few. A device provides peace of mind for the individual and their families that should they go missing there are methods to assist in locating them quickly.

WanderSearch Canterbury strongly believes that income should not be a barrier to receiving this vital support which is why we supply devices on a loan basis.

You can learn more about our devices here: www.wandersearch.nz...

If this sounds like something you are interested in, you can get in touch by emailing info@wandersearch.nz or call 03 907 0072.
