The business my partner was employed at unexpectedly went into liquidation and closed it's doors, so she is wanting to set up as a sole trade in the same industry.

 

I'm trying to find info on the IRD website as to what the tax rates for a sole trader are, but aren't having much luck.

 

Is it the same rates and thresholds as PAYE?

Yeah just normal rates, eg https://www.classic.ird.govt.nz/calculators/keyword/incometax/calculator-tax-rate.html

 

Then add to that your ACC Levy https://www.acc.co.nz/for-business/paying-levies/calculate-your-levies/

 

I would strongly recommend a self-employed person use ACC Coverplus Extra - you pre-agree on a level of cover so no need to prove income if you are off work (which can be difficult with fluctuating self-employed income).

 

 

 

Accountant should help you with all this anyway.
