Are YOU paying too much tax?
If you have recently started getting your NZ Super, you will need to make sure you have used the correct tax code. If not, you could be paying too much tax. If NZ Super is your only source of income, you should be on the “M” tax code, but there are other tax codes that could apply to you. To find out what your current tax code is, please visit Inland Revenue at www.ird.govt.nz... and search ‘work out my tax code’. You’ll need to contact Work and Income if you need to change your tax code, eg, if you stop working, so they can pay you the right amount of NZ Super or Veteran’s Pension. To do this, you will need to complete a Tax code declaration (IR330) from Inland Revenue (you can do this online at www.ird.govt.nz...) and then print it off and drop it off to reception at your Work and Income local service centre, or post it to your local service centre. To find out more about changing your tax code for NZ Super and Veteran’s Pension go to www.workandincome.govt.nz...

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
