如果你已年满 65 岁并想工作,那么在新西兰的生活要比澳大利亚好得多

如果你是一位年长的澳大利亚人,想要在达到退休年龄后继续工作,那么政府已经为你提供了便利。他们将你每年可以从工作中获得的收入增加了4000澳元,以免影响你的养老金。这一变更是为了鼓励养老金领取者留在劳动力队伍中。

但是,新西兰对老年工人的规定却大不相同。如果澳大利亚采用新西兰的方针,它可能会增加50万愿意的工人,其中许多人将纳税。

在澳大利亚,只有15.1%的65岁及以上的人从事有偿工作。相比之下,在新西兰,这一数字为26%。新西兰甚至计划将这一数字提高到33.1%,与冰岛的百分比相同。

那么,新西兰在做什么不同的事情呢?与澳大利亚不同,新西兰不惩罚工作的养老金领取者。在澳大利亚,每周工作收入超过227美元的养老金领取者因削减养老金而每多赚一美元,就会损失一半。这意味着他们总共损失了超过税率为19%的限额所得收入的69%,对于按32.5%征税的收入部分,他们损失了82.5%。

在新西兰,养老金领取者不面临此类处罚。他们只需缴纳所得税。养老金被称为退休金,支付给所有达到领取养老金年龄的人,无论收入或资产如何。

如果澳大利亚采用这种方法,它可以填补教学和医疗保健等领域的许多职位空缺。但是,这将使政府付出更多的代价,因为越来越多的达到养老金年龄的澳大利亚人将领取养老金。但是,如果澳大利亚取消对老年人和养老金领取者的特别税收优惠,则可以抵消成本。

实际上,计算表明,在一定程度之后,这一变化实际上会增加联邦国库,因为额外的所得税收入超过了额外养老金的成本。这不仅是因为雇用了更多的澳大利亚资深人士,还因为合法雇用了更多的澳大利亚资深人士。

目前,很难知道有多少澳大利亚老年人在工作并获得现金报酬,为了避免影响他们的养老金,他们储存现金而不是存入银行。但是,很明显,新西兰正在让退休人员更容易合法工作,而不是待在家里或接受手头现金。
