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%.
