Unless you're a taxation accountant, tax rates are hard to remember.
So as of May 2011 here are the tax rates for Australia and New Zealand.
New Zealand:$0 - $14,000 10.50 %$14,001 - $48,000 17.50 %$48,001 - $70,000 30 %Over $70,000 33 %GST = 15%
Australia:$0 – $6,000 Nil$6,001 – $37,000 15 %$37,001 – $80,000 30 %$80,001 – $180,000 37 %Over $180,000 45 %GST = 10%
Of course this is a basic rate comparison that doesn't include things like Medicare, ACC deductions, & any number of things Australians can claim back.
Also, for comparison, here's the New Zealand Labour govt's tax rates (1999 to 2008):
NZ LABOUR:$0 - $17,500 15%$17,501 to $40,000 21%$40,001 to $75,000 33%$75,001 + 39%GST = 12.5%
