Did anyone see this www.trademe.co.nz I can understand if you’re running a business and not paying tax that some other person in same line will be slightly peeved, but a 2nd hand dealer licensee too, seems a bit much, plus the fine $20,000 I can be thankful all the stuff I want to get rid of I did not buy with the purpose of reselling it. Actually looking around the house I’ve got no idea why I bought half the stuff, and the other half I don’t remember buying it just seems to arrive. :confused:	ktee (5538)

1299262	2012-09-06 08:48:00	After reading all the comments on the Trademe postings, I can see why the legit shop owner is all Peeved off - they are basically running a small business and not paying taxes for income. Next will be a call from the IRD. Even the original poster says it. "elderly friends of mine have a little hobby to keep them busy 4 days a week, they are beneficiaries, and have started up a little repair computers and sell the odd 2nd hand computer . Key words there, SELL. They are busy 4 days a week and theres an income - hell, many small places would love to be busy 4 days a week all the time and receiving an income, if you have a business then you have to pay Tax etc. If they didn't receive any income from the repairs then the person who dobbed them in really doesn't have a leg to stand on.	wainuitech (129)

How how some people import stuff from overseas on a regular basis and offload them to make a profit. Think about it, 4 days work for some people may even be full time employment, certainly it is part time. Ie., school child after school.	Nomad (952)

1299265	2012-09-06 09:25:00	I can understand the not paying tax not being fair to others who do, plus they have premises costs accting fees, etc, It was the 2nd hand license I didn't think off. No earning limit to get pension in NZ it's not means tested, just have to be 65??	ktee (5538)
1299266	2012-09-06 10:28:00	No earning limit to get pension in NZ it's not means tested, just have to be 65?? Yep, I know people who still work full/part time (and taxed) while receiving their pension, the pension is not affected.	Nomad (952)
1299267	2012-09-06 22:00:00	It can’t be right can it?? Did anyone see this www.trademe.co.nz : Well if it's a business and they do deal in second hand then they should get the license and pay the fee. Too many people running businesses on TM and avoiding tax, licenses, CGA and everything else they should be doing.	pctek (84)

I think you might find that the income over and above the pension is taxed at the same rate as "Secondary Income" ... not sure what that rate is, but it's higher than the normal tax rate.
