Income Tax cuts mean Doctors now have further incentive to work in New Zealand

14 Jul 2010

The New Zealand government has recently announced significant income tax cuts which will come into effect in New Zealand on 1 October 2010.  The new lower tax rates aim to stimulate productivity in the economy and also mean that people earning the average wage and above in New Zealand will soon pay lower tax rates than people in the United Kingdom or Australia, with the top tax bracket capped at 33%.

With attractive pay and conditions for doctors in New Zealand already on offer and negotiations in progress for further improvements to the current terms and conditions, there has never been a better time to move to New Zealand.
