The Labour Party is campaigning on a new top tax rate of 39 percent - but this won't apply to most MPs.

The proposed tax rate will kick in on income over $180,000 - about $16,000 more than the majority of MPs earn, with a base yearly income rate of around $164,000. This is increased if they chair a select committee, and doesn't include their expense allowance.
