| 874064 | 2010-04-07 19:02:00 | Hi Guys Can anyone explain the reason why the banks are now deducting higher rates of RWT from interest received. Its a question for my mum, she is a bit worried about it. Have tax rates changed ? I though they may be down in this years budget ? |

You tick what income level you are on. She could very will be on a lower tax rate when she fills in the form. The new tax rates came in on the 1st of April. :) |

| 874067 | 2010-04-07 22:22:00 | Changes were made to RWT rates and thresholds to align them with the income tax rates. If you are a low income earner you may be able to select the 12.5% rate which is lower then it was. |

We have enough notifications on the new tax rates to wallpaper a small room, lol, just kidding. We have gone from the 19.5 rate to 21.5 rate, but offset by an increase in national super. GST increase in June will kill it all. Lurking. |
