    Nats' tax policy released

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/vote08/4720318a28435.html

    I like this bit:
    "It will apply for those with personal incomes of between $24,000 and $50,000 who do not receive any form of financial entitlement."

    Translation:
    "It will be for those who only have as many kids as they can afford and don't expect the State to pick up the extra bill"

    Sounds bloody good to me, but I would say that, considering iv'e never recieved any "financial entitlement." I'll be stoked to know the islanders living across from me on the benefit for no-reason will finally have to miss out on something- maybe make up for all the sleep iv'e missed every thursday to monday....

    Hows this going to affect a non custodial parent paying child support?

    I haven't seen anything about balancing out child support or fixing it to suit this day and age where woman are supposed to be the bl--dy same as men when it comes to earnings or jobs, can someone point me to a link?

    From Kiwiblog....

    This compares the situation at the beginning of the year, to what it will be like in year three of a National Government.

    Again any errors are mine (well Kiwiblogs - this is afterall a cut / paste).

    What it shows is a very significant package - earners in the $30,000 to $50,000 range get their tax bill reduced by 20% to 25%. Those on $100,000 get only a 12% reduction - and proportionally less as income grows (8.1% at $200,000).

    Now Labour did deliver the first of the four stages of this tax cut package. They should get some credit for it. Sure it took nine years, lots of screaming, a previous package which they cancelled after the election, only did it because National and the public forced them to, and an admission now they in hindsight they wish they hadn’t done it, but for Labour that is as close as you will get

    The rates used in this calculation are:
    1. 12.5% to $14,000
    2. 20% to $50,000
    3. 33% to $70,000
    4. 37% over $70,000
    5. A $520 rebate for incomes from $24,000 to $44,000 then abating at 13% until $50,000

    Irrelevant. Your child support is meant to be paying for half of your child(ren)'s upkeep. In theory, your ex should be paying the same. Plus it's unlikely that, if your Ex has full custody, she will be able to earn the same as you.

    However, is we assume there is one child and your ex in the house. Are you seriously paying your child's share of:
    Rent/Mortgage
    Power
    Groceries
    Etc of the household? In addition to clothing, etc. It's generally unlikely.

    What I do think is bizarre is if the custodial parent is on the DPB, the child support goes to IRD to offset the benefit. I don't see how that helps the sprog.

    Anyway, as I understand it, child support is set on your pre-tax income, so even you should be better off with these tax cuts.

    Socialist meddlers screwing around with regulations to force banks to lend to poor credit risks are what's at the root of the current problems.

    Not my problem she left me and she kept the kids and the house which was freehold at the time.

    However, is we assume there is one child and your ex in the house. Are you seriously paying your child's share of:
    Rent/Mortgage
    Power
    Groceries
    Etc of the household? In addition to clothing, etc. It's generally unlikely.

    3 kids and maybe not but I also give her money for half of sports costs and other required gear which doesn't come into it with the IRD as they ignore it.

    What I do think is bizarre is if the custodial parent is on the DPB, the child support goes to IRD to offset the benefit. I don't see how that helps the sprog.

    It doesn't do anything for my kids it supports her DPB and all the other wankers who don't pay for there children...

    Anyway, as I understand it, child support is set on your pre-tax income, so even you should be better off with these tax cuts.
    Thanks for that, I hope so

    one of ACT's members Dr Muriel Newman is challenging the way Child support is worked out, no one else will, but then ACT is the only party with any balls to challenge anything, with backed up plans. Hence they are blessed with my vote.


    Infact ACT is the only party that makes any sence at all unless youre a retarded bludger



    I await the bait to work ?

    Of course. Having a Ministry of Men's affairs would be sexist. Kind of like having a seperate political roll for one race of people would be racist.

    Oh, hang on.......

    You need to do a bit more reading.
    You would hardly call the Republican Party Socialist. ...even tho' they have been forced to adopt Socialist policies to save their economy.
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    Yep that pretty much sums it up there.........they're looking at bringing in "only if your maori" seats for council too are they not?
