Tax impact landscape

Each point represents a combination of income and wealth. Green = better off under the proposal; red = worse off. Intensity reflects the magnitude of the impact. The income axis is capped at ~$200k (top 1% individual income threshold, Stats NZ / IRD); the wealth axis runs to $10.5M, just past the $10M wealth tax threshold and covering approximately 99.8% of taxpayers. Horizontal markers show where the top 10%, 1%, and 0.5% individual wealth thresholds fall. The dashed vertical line marks the income break-even (~$161k), and the dashed horizontal line marks the $10M wealth tax threshold.

* Income axis capped at ~$200k (top 1% individual income — IRD / Stats NZ). Wealth axis runs to $10.5M, just past the $10M wealth tax threshold; the narrow red band on the right edge shows its immediate impact. Wealth percentile thresholds from Stats NZ Oct 2025 (top 10%: $1.46M, top 1%: $4.74M, top 0.5%: $7.19M). The ~99.8% coverage figure is an estimate — granular data above the top 1% is not published by Stats NZ. Capital acquisitions tax (event-based) and ACC levy (unchanged under both systems) are excluded.
