Secondary Tax Codes — SH & SH SL
What Are Tax Codes 'SH & SH SL'?
Use the SH tax code if your employee's annual income from ALL jobs is between NZ$ 48,001 and NZ$ 70,000, and has NO student loan.
Use SH SL if the employee has a student loan.
|
Example: Brian, a full-time worker, works 40 hours a week with an annual income of NZ$ 51,000. He wants to save for the holidays so he gets a second job making NZ$ 12,000 annually. His total annual income is now NZ$ 63,000. He has no student loan, so, the higher income source uses a primary tax code and the lower source uses the SH 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.
