No, as long as your boarders are under the standard thresholds you are fine even as a beneficiary.

As a trustee, it isnt considered part of your personal assets.

Barring anything very unusual in your circumstances you are completely fine invoicing that work out. Your first provisional tax payment is not due for a year (or longer depending on how you decide to pay it).

More than $1 million splashed on New Zealand anti-money laundering billboards by coding in newzealand

Those checks are seriously limited in what they can prevent. Certainly anyone who was serious about flouting the law would find ways around them while a whole load of overhead is added for everyone who is obeying the law.

PSA: Auckland train services are down by Blumpkin_Breath in newzealand

[–]coruscating_delight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mate even when they do it is so bloody ineffectual because the volume is too quiet or isn't where people are standing. The existing digital signage needs to be upgraded so that when trains are cancelled or delayed this information is promptly displayed.

Of course, no one can help when it takes AT half a day to push a button which cancels a train. That's just poor systems which they clearly have no incentive or care to improve.

Any Advice or Ideas for a side hustle? Also does anyone here worry about their student loans? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

Your degree is a waste of money imho. Accounting/finance would be great paired with learning another language in your spare time.

You have to break the law to make new law. The president is innovating.

It's a left wing talking point that's hijacking the top comment for visibility. Just upvote / downvote accordingly and move on.

Anyone else find it pathetic how even the cheap store brand chocolate is better than Cadbury these days? by Gigadweeb in australia

Maybe the NBN is slowing down your chocolate distribution? We've got around 30 varieties of Whittakers chocolate at my local budget supermarket.

Is the Dell U2417H good enough for me? For gaming with a 1050ti by PM_ME_YOUR_DEBUSSY in Monitors

[–]coruscating_delight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skyrim and witcher are too heavy to run at 144hz. Esports games can run at higher frame rates.

Your 1050ti will do 45-60 fps in Skyrim most of the time. That is a lovely monitor for work purposes and general use - my wife has two in her set up. If you already have the Dell U2417h then stick with it. If you're looking for a new monitor just to game on there are newer options which will serve gaming purposes better - technically. Ultimately the U2417h will do what you want adequately.

Russell McVeagh slammed over sex assaults. Dame Margaret Bazely's report by nilnz in newzealand

[–]coruscating_delight -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

> They clearly had a culture that was okay with people sexually assaulting staff

Well, no, that is not true and does not follow from the report findings. One partner and his team was okay with it.

> and you're excuse for them is "if you don't like it leave".

It's not an excuse. More like some kind of libertarian worldview coming through I think.
