Parking
Water Steak Fresh fish Garage charges Toll roads Fishing licences Hunting licences Camping charges Speeding fines Council taxes Yearly heating bills But then again the reason I came to NZ was sod all to do with market forces that 60 million people can create but more to do with the tranquility of life :zzz: |

It's my favourite meal to eat out and I found it quite frustrating that in the UK it was either a greasy spoon cafe (great if you have a hangover, but not so good for a civilised late breaky in the sunshine) or somewhere hugely pricey. I still think houses here are cheaper (which only goes to show how much it depends on where you come from AND where you go to) but I know that could easy start a million post thread, so I'll say in my little bubble world, housing is cheaper in NZ. |

Re: Whats actually cheaper in NZ vs the UK
No TV license
No stamp duty No capital gains tax (though some think there should be) No inheritance tax (ok, not really an everyday expense) Are rates cheaper than council tax ? We pay equivalent of about 75GBP a month - don't know how much council tax is - obviously depends where you are in the Uk. I think electricity prices are similar. I recently saw a link saying the average price per Kw in the UK is 14.5p. We pay around 28c/Kw here so the same. |
Re: Whats actually cheaper in NZ vs the UK
When I left the UK in 2008 I was paying about £100 pcm in council tax for a two bed flat in Croydon and that included single person discount. We are paying around $540 per quarter in Chch now. So yes, it is cheaper for me!
Obviously it all depends on a lot of different factors:) |
Re: Whats actually cheaper in NZ vs the UK
Yes, our £75 per month rates are for a 4 bed detached house in Auckland. So sounds like it's a fair bit cheaper than council tax.
