Hon STUART NASH (Minister of Revenue): The marginal tax rate for someone on the median wage in 2019 was 30 percent. However, this does not mean they paid 30 percent of their total income in tax. New Zealand has a progressive tax scale; so the average tax rate paid on the median annual wage in 2019 was 16.79 percent. Someone on the average wage of $65,000 pays an average rate of 19 percent. It is certainly not 33 cents in the dollar, and if members on the other side of the House would like a link to the IRD tax calculator, I'm happy to send it to them.
