Income - Exempt income

CW 30: Annuities from Crown Bank Accounts

You could also call this:

“Tax-free annuities granted by the Executive Council and paid from the Crown Bank Account”

You don’t have to pay tax on an annuity if it meets three conditions. First, the Executive Council of New Zealand must grant it. Second, it must be paid from the Crown Bank Account. Third, it must not be marked as being subject to tax. An annuity is a sum of money that you receive regularly, often yearly. In this case, if your annuity follows these rules, it’s considered exempt income, which means you don’t need to include it when you’re working out your taxes.
