Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Do We Pay Tax on Benefits?
Q: How do we calculate average salaries?
Salaries can be calculated using mean, median, or mode. Each method has its implications, and the discrepancy in earnings can lead to skewed interpretations based on the method used.
Why Do We Pay Tax on Benefits?
Q: Why are New Zealand super payments taxed?
It's an on-paper accounting exercise. Benefits have both before-tax and after-tax amounts to inform about marginal tax rates, even though the government automatically accounts for any tax deductions to ensure efficiency and clarity.
Can I Invest my Kiwisaver in More Than One Kind of Fund?
Q: How does tax apply to the KiwiSaver scheme?
In KiwiSaver, contributions come from taxed income, returns are taxed, but withdrawals are tax-exempt.
Can I Invest my Kiwisaver in More Than One Kind of Fund?
Q: Why bother to survey feelings if retail transactions and spending are down?
Understanding feelings is a leading indicator of economic behavior, as optimism can influence spending and hiring.
Can I Invest my Kiwisaver in More Than One Kind of Fund?
Q: Why do most providers have this restriction that members can only have their KiwiSaver funds in one fund type?
Many KiwiSaver providers used to restrict members to a single fund type, but some are now allowing a mix of different funds.
