This is about US$40 based on the current exchange rates, so do you think I should raise my rates, :^) Graeme Harvey New Plymouth NZ >> I understand taxes are very high in NZ. What are you currently paying in taxes, including income tax, sales, etc? As far as how much you charge, that is up to you. Are you making a comfortable living? If so, then you're charging the right amount. If you are always just a little behind on the bills, raise your rates. The question, if you raise your rates, will you get enough customers to pay it?
