[1] Area One includes the following areas: Central Auckland Zone, Northern Auckland Zone, Pukekohe, Queenstown, Southern Auckland Zone, Tauranga, Waiuku, Western Auckland Zone, and Other locations

[2] Family Tax Credit and In-work Tax Credit cut out points are based on IR271.

[3] The proposed income limit for a single person (18+ years) is based on working full time 40 hours per week on a minimum wage of $20 gross per hour. For a couple with children, this limit is doubled; and for a sole parent with one or two children, the limit is a midpoint between the single and couple rate. For a single person (16-17 years) the limit is based on a working full time 40 hours per week on the ‘starting-out’ minimum wage rate of $16 gross per hour.
