Summary
The Green Party of New Zealand has unveiled a new tax policy package for the upcoming election, centered on making the first $10,000 of annual income tax-free—a move they claim would give 96% of New Zealanders a tax cut. The policy also includes a bank levy on major banks, an increased corporate tax rate for large companies, and a withholding tax on profits earned by big tech firms operating in New Zealand. Co-leaders Chlöe Swarbrick and Marama Davidson frame the policy as ending tax loopholes for wealthy individuals and corporations while providing relief for everyday New Zealanders.
