[edit] Gift tax
Strange to me was learning of gift tax. You can't just give away your wealth, as you can in the UK. Nothing in the article. And I'm not the correct one to write about it. Paul Beardsell 00:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

This avoids tax evasion where somebody gifts you money rather than pays it. There are exceptions to this rule of incoming being taxed - no capital gains tax in NZ, no death duties, no taxation on gambling winnings etc.
