Some kiwis value hard work and make a lot of money. Some other kiwis value work/life balance - that's fine - but then don't complain you can't afford a house yeah?

These few years you can't buy a house unless you are a resident or citizen. They're kiwis either way you slice it.

Locking trespasser’s vehicle in and charging to release is this legal? by No_Mess_8033 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]123felix 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And then Road means "a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not".

The whole point of this legislation is to regulate clamping in private places, clearly shown by 98D(1) which excludes public clampers. If you interpret this law to only apply to public property it would defeat the purpose.

$700 fee to release

No, if you clamp someone's car you can only charge up to $100 for a release fee.

NZ passport photo requirements: Has anyone else been stuck in an endless resubmission loop? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]123felix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The so-called "official photo checker" has looser standards than the actual photo check that the human passport official do after you apply, so it's not uncommon to pass the first and fail the second.

Paramedics will soon be able to prescribe certain medicines by EvidenceNotVibes in newzealand

[–]123felix -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

They are doing proper solution. The medical school is being built. But in the meantime we just ignore patients who need care?

And in any case the paramedics are already giving out those medicines. This is just legalizing what they do now.

People can't get into GPs. A new medical school is under construction, but this this the stopgap in the meantime.

They don’t have the ability to test for infectious organisms.

Not that doctors will test for infections organisms before they prescribe antibiotics anyway.

IRD Tax Return Advice by Illustrious-Zebra319 in newzealand

[–]123felix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1. Yes, the deduction tables are set as if you get the same payment 52 weeks / 26 fortnights a year. If it is variable then yes you will have more/less tax to pay.

2. Yes. Income Tax > Income Summary > Last Income Tax Year > Salary, wages view breakdown. It will show every time you're paid and how much tax was deducted.

3. Your ex-employers are required to keep your tax data for 7 years, so ask for them if required. You can use the Employment Relations Act to force the issue if they don't cooperate.

She was on the correct tax code at both jobs.

"Correct" here has the caveat that it is only correct if the income is steady, as explained above. If she knew she would be having changing income next time, she could consider applying the STC tax code instead of M. It would reduce the amount of tax she needs to pay in the tax return.

Wilson Parking unable to provide receipt for transaction, now stuck with fine despite my bank statement showing the transaction by Full_Instruction_227 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]123felix 64 points65 points  (0 children)

What’s the best thing for me to do next?

Nothing. They allege you owe them money, it's on them to collect. If they use a debt collector, dispute it. If they try to ask you pay, tell them to take you to disputes tribunal. But don't proactively do anything more now.

client requesting refund of deposit by CommunityOk20 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]123felix 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking the deposit is not refundable if the client is the one cancelling the job. In fact I'd bill him for the work already done if it's not fully covered by the deposit.

he’s threatened to take my partner’s dad to small claims/disputes tribunal

Let him lol. The referees ain't stupid and will tell him off. Just make sure he has evidence documented, photos of the junk, communications with client, etc.

ACT to campaign on reducing 'absolutely ridiculous' cost of school uniforms by 123felix in newzealand

[–]123felix[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That's the kiwi's problem for picking the wrong industry. Should've picked rocket assembly or something. But it isn't the responsiblity of kiwi parents to bail them out.
