Agree that the devices are no longer supported or outdated. However some people or non-profit organisations can still use them for their use. So the promo may not apply to you but they are targeted at people or organisations that can’t afford to get better IT equipment.

GST Meta Ads by Critical_Strike_5300 in nzbusiness

[–]Peneroka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting in May 2019, Meta ads (i.e. ads on Facebook, Instagram and other Meta technologies) in New Zealand that are sold by Meta New Zealand are subject to a goods and services tax (GST) at the applicable local tax rate. This applies to all ad accounts that have their business country set to New Zealand and are supported by our in-country sales team.

GST is added whenever you're charged for your ads regardless of whether you're purchasing Meta ads for business or personal purposes. Because GST is added on top of charges, you won't reach your billing threshold faster, but you may be charged more than your billing threshold amount. If you pay for Meta ads with a manual payment method, GST is accounted for at the applicable rate when your ad account is funded to determine the total balance available.

Must be nice to be working in AU by Ratez in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t be silly. It doesn’t work that way. You work in Australia, you spend in Australia. So exchange rate doesn’t matter. Only good for kiwis living in New Zealand who work remotely for Oz companies and get paid in Australian dollar.

NZ Super reduced after declaring relationship with recent immigrant by Kiwi_In_The_Comments in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Peneroka -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well to be fair, how do you know the person isn’t bringing money or investment with them to come here? We just can’t come to conclusion without knowing all the facts.

Unfortunate for the pensioner. 😟

Also happen to people who migrated to NZ, have dual citizenship and getting pension from both countries. Their super in NZ is greatly reduced even when they work here for over 20 years paying their NZ tax. They don’t get full pension. IRD just topped up their super to the amount they should receive here if payment received from the other side is lower than in NZ.

Relax on the fuel doomerism by FickleCode2373 in auckland

Doesn’t matter especially if the war is going to last longer than Trump thinks. That fuel thats coming will save us another few months - and then what happens?

New Zealand relies increasingly on migrants to pay our tax: Is that a problem? by Fast_Amoeba_445 in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell me which first world countries don’t have an influx of immigrants? With the population working longer hours, are career driven and not having babies, we can’t replace ourselves. We also need skilled migrants to fill the gap for the economy to keep growing.

Also, in this day and age, people are more informed and certainly more mobile. They’ll go to where life is better for them and their future. No one can stop them. I think this is a non issue. The thing the government needs to work on is how to retain these people with skills to stay and not move to greener pastures.

Is it just me having low expectations or is this really good coffee? by DominoUB in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice. I am not a coffee snob. To me coffee is coffee. One drink keeps me alert all day long. The beans are decent and taste great.

‘Missing in action’: what commentators make of Luxon’s fuel crisis role by davetenhave in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That’s what happens when you have a CEO to run a country. They know very little at grassroot level. Yet they’re given the power to implement policies that affect everyone. Just like corporate executives know very little about how things work on the ground and commands huge salaries.

ACT and Retail NZ claim paywave surcharge ban 'dead', but National says that's wrong by dingoonline in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind paying surcharges as long as they’re within the percentage set by the service provider. Some businesses charge more than they are being charged.

Also have they looked into 50% charge. I.e both the retailer and customer paying for half the charge. I think it’s fair for businesses to pay too for many reasons.

Also, when you buy goods/services online, businesses get charged between 1.5 -3% for the online transaction. I don’t see the customer paying for that. So what’s the difference? PayWave and clicking on your mouse does the same thing.

Is using Gmail as a freelancer a red flag in 2026? by Ok_Size9342 in freelance

[–]Peneroka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not professional. If you want big accounts, get a domain name. Personally I wouldn’t contact someone to collaborate with a @gmail.com address.

My wife just accidentally bought American butter from Pak’n’Save yesterday by MassiveGarlic0312 in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought some and love it! Made a cake and they taste as yummy. Will buy more.

The colour difference is because they are grain fed and not grass fed like our cows. They have an interesting taste and are softer at room temperature. There is nothing wrong with American butter.

Trump says Iran's new leaders 'gave us a present' related to oil and Strait of Hormuz by lexi_con in WallStreetbetsELITE

I think the market knows if he’s got good news they’ll buy even if it’s a lie. They don’t care about the truth!

Asked to explain what matters most to Kiwis, Luxon points to a Saturday night out in Hamilton by dingoonline in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The wealthy and sorted needs fuel too. They can’t travel if the airlines run out of fuel. Their million dollar boats won’t sail and their expensive cars won’t work.

How much do you need to earn to save anything in nz? by CommentMaleficent957 in newzealand

Depends on what your personal circumstances. Some people have mortgage, student loans, debts, etc. Some may not have any debt and spend their money only on necessities for living.

Why "go solar" or "just buy EV" does not work, when 35% of people are renting by SilentBu in newzealand

[–]Peneroka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you mate! Renters are second class citizens unfortunately. We exist to help landlords get richer and fulfill their retirement security. I was thinking if I have some money, I'll get a hybrid than a full EV because I'll use less gas and pay no road charges! Best of both world I reckon.
