Comment New Zealand annual tax returns (Score 1) 613
In New Zealand our Inland Revenue Department does this for all employed salary earners. If all of your income is from salary and bank interest you never even see an annual tax return. They even write-off small amounts owing. You do have the option of completing a tax return manually if desired, or if you have some income unaccounted for.
If you are self employed, or have income from sources that do not automatically deduct income tax then you do need to fill out a return, but it's relatively easy to do so.
