Glenda has come up with some pretty useful links there so I'll just add this couple, which, again, just tell you about the tax system. One is from
Westpac Bank . And this one is from the
NZIS site.
I haven't read through them, so there will probably be a lot of info repeated between all the links. Just thought I'd put them up in case the odd nugget or gem had been missed.
As for private health care, as you wish. As Taffy says, you don't need it, but it is available if you want it. This site briefly tells you how the
NZ health system is run.
This is the
ACC which is a government run system that pays out if you have an accident.
Just a few private insurance companies.
