| National’s Tax Policy - Individuals Win, Businesses Lose |
|
08 October 2008 |
|
From 1 April 2009 a taxpayer earning $80,000 will benefit to the tune of $20.38 per week or $1,060 each year from National’s package.

It is particularly pleasing to see a decrease in the top tax rate, from 39% to 38% from 1 April 2009 and then again to 37% from 1 April 2010. While the threshold increases under Labour to $80,000 by 2011, National’s decision to keep the top threshold at $70,000 is understandable given the current economic climate. A comparison of Labour’s and National’s tax... |
