Secondary Tax Codes — ST & ST SL
What Are Tax Codes 'ST & ST SL'?
Use the ST tax code if your employee's annual income from ALL jobs is more than NZ$ 70,000, and has NO student loan.
Use ST SL if the employee has a student loan.
|
Example: Joe, a designer, makes NZ$ 80,000 per year. But he also has a second job where he rakes in another NZ$ 6,000. His total annual income is now NZ$ 86,000. He has no student loan. Here, his higher income uses a primary tax code and the lower source uses the ST 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.
