If your income is from salary, wages, benefits or taxable pensions, your tax will automatically be deducted under the PAYE (pay as you earn) system. This means when you get your weekly, fortnightly, or monthly pay, your tax has already been deducted from it.
PAYE is the tax your employer deducts from your salary and wages. It includes:
– the tax rate for your income, and
– an ACC earners’ levy
The rates in the table below apply from 1 April 2016 onwards.
| Taxable income | Income tax rates for every $1 of taxable income (excluding ACC earners’ levy) | PAYE rates for every $1 of taxable income (including ACC earners’ levy*) |
| up to $14,000 | 10.5 cents | 11.89 cents |
| from $14,001 to $48,000 | 17.5 cents | 18.89 cents |
| from $48,001 to $70,000 | 30 cents | 31.39 cents |
| $70,001 and over | 33 cents | 34.39 cents |
| No notification** | 45 cents | 46.39 cents |
All employees must pay an ACC earners’ levy to cover the cost of non-work related injuries. It is collected by us on behalf of the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC).
Employers deduct the earners’ levy from wages. It is included as a component of PAYE deductions.
Earners’ levy is charged at a flat rate each year: The Current Year (2016/17 onwards) ACC Levy Rate is $1.39 per $100 i.e. 1.39%
