Independent earner tax credit (IETC)

From 1 April 2009 eligible tax payers earning between $24,000 and $48,000 will be entitled to the IETC which will lower the amount of tax to pay. Find out more information on the IETC. ]]> Wed, 11 May 2011 13:56:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1323434&title=working-for-families#1323434 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1323345&title=working-for-families#1323345 Author: jazzy

Oh? I don't know much about it all I know is that he owes about $144 for last year which is fine by me its not that much.

We will play the waiting game. Hoping its a decent amount though as we got 3ish back last year and I worked part year got my holiday pay paid out and got PPL. This year it will be based solely on his wage which having had three jobs I'm not sure what he earnt ]]> Tue, 10 May 2011 20:41:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1323026&title=working-for-families#1323026 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1322860&title=working-for-families#1322860 Author: jazzy

I'm interested to see what we get this year as DPs wage went up and he came off salary but he's at a ish rate because he's in the 30% tax rate by my calculations grrrr do the govt not realise that $48000 pa is not actually that much especially when you take 30% of it

You only pay 30% on the amount over 48k and under 70k so they arent taking 30% of his earnings.

He would only be paying 10.5% on the first 14k then 17.5 on the rest of it.

problem is they make you reliant on it & when it gets cut or goes down it hurts.

I worked out our budget on DH's wages & we will survive but it will be tight. I would have to go back to work, which I am planning on doing soon so we will lose it then, but would rather lose it that way than have it taken off us.

I want to put it away & use it for the kids, like school, clothes, shoes etc so if & when it goes I am prepared but at the moment something always comes up, like car repairs, birthdays, school & so on. ]]> Tue, 10 May 2011 13:06:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1322575&title=working-for-families#1322575 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39099&PID=1322550&title=working-for-families#1322550 Author: kebakat

Nope if I loose my $88 I will be screwed.
