With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Inland Revenue is working on some proposed changes to give everyone a more straightforward tax system.

If the proposed law changes go through early next year, there are a number of things that could affect you:

Better information – You can expect to receive a notification at the end of the tax year. This will tell you how much you’ve earned and how much tax you've paid – so you’ll know exactly where you stand.

Automatic tax refunds – If you have paid too much tax during the year, you'll automatically have a refund paid into your bank account (so long as your bank account details are up to date on our system). If you have not paid enough, we will let you know how much you owe and you won’t need to pay it until February the following year.

Helping you stay on track – Inland Revenue will let you know if it looks like you're on the wrong tax code to ensure you’re paying the right amount of tax and so you won’t get any surprises at the end of the year.

Check out our Changing for You website for some examples of the proposed changes and what they could mean for you.

To be prepared for any changes, simply log in to your myIR account and check your contact details and bank account information are up to date.

www.ird.govt.nz...

IRD will be in touch again early next year with further updates.
