Secondary Tax Codes — 'S & S SL'
What Are Tax Codes 'S & S SL'?
Use the S tax code if your employee's annual income from ALL jobs is between NZ$ 14,001 and NZ$ 48,000, and has no student loan.
Use S SL if the employee has a student loan.

Example: Griffin works full-time for 40 hours a week making an annual income of NZ$ 38,000. Griffin has huge credit card debt. So, in order to pay it off, he gets a second job where he makes NZ$ 5,000 annually. His total annual income is now NZ$ 43,000. His higher income source uses a primary tax code and the lower income source uses the S Tax Code. |
NOTE: Rate of the secondary tax depends on the total amount of income from ALL jobs.
If your employee is under the wrong tax code, they're going to end up with a big tax bill at the end of the year. Ensure that your workers notify you whenever their circumstances change.
