Taxing questions: is National glossing over the likely cost of administering its new ‘revenue measures'?

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Proposing to alleviate the financial pain of this “squeezed middle”, it may be key to determining who forms the next government.

Key Points: 
  • Proposing to alleviate the financial pain of this “squeezed middle”, it may be key to determining who forms the next government.
  • Just what these might cost to set up and administer may be a missing element of the picture.
  • As the tax policy makes clear, short-term concerns about the cost of living trump longer-term considerations about climate change.

Revenue neutral means new taxes

    • To ensure the package is revenue neutral, four new taxes will be introduced.
    • If the policy is aimed at those who vote, then three of the new taxes are aimed at shifting the tax burden to those who cannot vote.
    • A second stream of revenue will come from a tax on offshore gambling.
    • Generally, two of the new proposals appear to gloss over the massive IT costs that tend to accompany new taxes.

Safeguarding the ‘un-squeezed top’

    • What the package does not do is engage with the problem of tax-free wealth.
    • Just this week the International Monetary Fund once again urged New Zealand to introduce a comprehensive capital gains tax.
    • National’s package favours “the un-squeezed top” by reinstating tax deductions for rental properties, reducing the brightline test to two years, and leaving capital gains untaxed.
