## How New Zealand Taxes Your Income

New Zealand taxes income progressively across multiple bands, meaning as your income increases, the additional amount is taxed at a higher rate. In addition to standard income tax, most employees pay an ACC \(Accident Compensation Corporation\) levy, which covers the cost of injuries. 

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Does New Zealand have a tax-free threshold?

No, unlike some other countries, New Zealand does not have a general tax-free threshold. Income is taxed from the first dollar you earn, starting at a rate of 10.5% for the lowest income band.

#### What is the ACC earners' levy?

The ACC earners' levy is collected by Inland Revenue on behalf of the Accident Compensation Corporation to help fund the cost of injuries. It is usually deducted automatically from your pay along with your income tax under the PAYE system.

#### How is income tax deducted in New Zealand?

If you are an employee, your employer deducts tax automatically before paying you. This system is known as Pay As You Earn \(PAYE\), and the amount deducted depends on your specific tax code and your gross income.
