National to propose new 'revenue measures' to pay for income tax cuts

3 years ago by Ilovethebomb to c/politics

National's finance spokesperson Nicola Willis says their tax plan will include new "targeted revenue measures" to help pay for its income tax cuts.

Any thoughts on what those measures may be?

God I hope they tax churches.

Being the party of fiscal responsibility they should levy a capital gains tax and a land value tax, a pair of low hanging fruit that would net a good chunk of revenue as well as cooling the housing market.

But of course they're never going to do that, they'll off load the costs of their tax cuts on the poors by hiking GST by at least 2.5%.
