Successful Business Creates Successful Tax Relief…..!
“Let’s be honest: it’s thanks to successful business that has allowed Michael Cullen to unveil his ‘surprise’ tax relief
package.”
Chamber of Commerce chief executive Michael Barnett: “Surely it’s time the Government acknowledged the important role
business has in creating the wealth and tax revenue that this country’s social agenda depends on.”
He asked whether a full analysis had been done on the best target for tax relief.
Maybe some of the relief could be targeted to helping transition NZ into a more creative environment providing high
growth and high incomes from businesses that will keep creating significant tax surpluses.
Yesterday’s bonanza was further proof of a long-held view: “Successful business equals successful New Zealand.”
