Credit is given for PAYE as tax will have been automacally withheld – you set this
off against the calculated tax liability
The balance is your income tax liability
foreign tax credits
These are tax credits for foreign income tax
If you get double taxed (e.g. you are resident in New Zealand, but own a house in Australia
and get rental income from it; you pay tax in New Zealand due to the residence principle and
pay tax in Australia due to the source principle), you get a tax credit – you subtract the tax
you paid overseas from the tax you will pay in New Zealand
If the tax paid overseas is greater than the tax you are supposed to pay in New Zealand, then
your New Zealand tax liability is eliminated on that part of your income only (i.e. you cannot
set off the excess credit against liability for New Zealand tax on your other sources of
income; you also don’t get a tax return)
credits relang to social welfare
Examples:
family scheme tax credits (Working for Families tax credits)
low income tax credits
tax credits for children
housekeeping tax credits
