Secondary Tax Codes— 'SB & SB SL'
What Are Tax Code 'SB & SB SL'?
If any of your employees have more than one job, then their tax code can get a little complex too with a Secondary Tax Code.
Use an SB tax code if the annual income from ALL jobs is less than NZ$ 14,000 but WITHOUT a student loan.
Use SB SL if the employee has a student loan.
|
Example: Peter recently graduated from high school and is working part-time at his aunt’s diner. He earns NZ$ 4,000 annually. He also works at his sister’s cafe making NZ$ 6,000 annually. Naturally, his total annual income is NZ$ 10,000. He has no student loans. In this case, the higher income source uses a primary tax code, and the lower source uses SB 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.
