746354	2009-02-09 22:20:00	So what is your main source of income? Is it the business or your other job? Try using the telephone and ask the IRD. They should be able to give you a definitive answer until the tax rates change. In my case I receive NZ Super but I also from time to time work driving a truck. I deliberately do not work too many hours as I would probably receive a tax demand from the IRD in the event I crossed an income threshold.	Sweep (90)
