65세 이상이고 일하고 싶다면 호주보다 뉴질랜드에서 훨씬 나은 삶을 살 수 있습니다.

Share:

은퇴 연령이 된 후에도 계속 일하고 싶어하는 호주 고령자라면 정부가 좀 더 쉽게 일할 수 있도록 도와주었습니다.연금에 영향을 미치기 전에 매년 근로 소득을 올릴 수 있는 금액을 A$4000 인상했습니다.이번 변경은 연금 수급자들이 계속 일할 수 있도록 장려하기 위한 것입니다.

하지만 뉴질랜드에서는 고령 근로자에 대한 규정이 매우 다릅니다.호주가 뉴질랜드의 방식을 채택할 경우 자발적인 근로자가 50만 명 더 늘어날 수 있으며 이들 중 다수는 세금을 납부하게 될 것입니다.

호주에서는 65세 이상 인구 중 15.1% 만이 유급 노동을 하고 있습니다.반면 뉴질랜드에서는 그 수가 26% 입니다.뉴질랜드는 이 수치를 아이슬란드와 같은 비율인 33.1% 까지 늘리는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

그렇다면 뉴질랜드는 어떤 점에서 달라지고 있을까요?호주와 달리 뉴질랜드는 일하는 연금 수급자에게 불이익을 주지 않습니다.호주에서는 근로 소득이 주당 227달러를 초과하는 연금 수급자가 연금 삭감으로 인해 추가로 버는 모든 달러의 절반을 잃습니다.즉, 세율이 19% 인 한도를 초과하면 소득의 총 69% 를 잃고 32.5% 로 과세되는 소득 부분에 대해서는 82.5% 를 잃게 됩니다.

뉴질랜드에서는 연금 수급자에게 그러한 벌금이 부과되지 않습니다.그들은 단순히 소득세를 납부할 뿐입니다.연금이라고 하는 이 연금은 소득이나 자산에 상관없이 연금 수령 연령이 있는 모든 사람에게 지급됩니다.

호주가 이 접근법을 채택한다면 교육 및 의료 등의 분야에서 많은 일자리를 채울 수 있을 것입니다.하지만 연금 수령 연령의 호주인이 늘어나기 때문에 이로 인해 정부 입장에서는 비용이 더 많이 들 것입니다.그러나 호주가 노인 및 연금 수급자에 대한 특별 세금 감면을 폐지하면 비용을 상쇄할 수 있습니다.

실제로 계산에 따르면 추가 소득세 수입이 추가 연금 비용을 상회하기 때문에 일정 시점을 넘어서면 연방 재무가 실제로 증가할 것으로 예상됩니다.이런 일이 일어날 수 있는 이유는 더 많은 호주 노인들이 고용되었기 때문만이 아니라 더 많은 호주 노인들이 합법적으로 고용되었기 때문이기도 합니다.

현재 얼마나 많은 호주 노인들이 일하고 현금으로 급여를 받고 있는지 알기는 어렵습니다. 이들은 연금에 영향을 주지 않기 위해 은행 대신 현금을 보관하고 있습니다.하지만 뉴질랜드가 은퇴자들이 집에 머물거나 현금을 받는 것보다 합법적으로 일하는 것을 더 쉽게 만들고 있다는 것은 분명합니다.
