Deductions from your pay
If you are an employee, your personal tax and your ACC levy contribution will be automatically deducted from your salary or wages.
Paying tax
As a New Zealand resident you will be required to pay tax on all the income you receive, whether this is generated in New Zealand or overseas.
Before starting a job, you will need to apply to Inland Revenue for an IRD number. Find out more at www.ird.govt.nz
ACC levy
Accidental injuries are covered by the Government’s accident insurance scheme, which is managed by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC). A levy to help pay for this will come out of your salary or wages. Find out more at www.acc.govt.nz
