Treasury swimming in money, but Labour proposes to tax Aucklanders more at the pump
6 AUGUST 2017
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Responding to Labour’s transport announcement this afternoon, Jordan Williams, Executive Director of the Taxpayers’
Union says:
“By 2020, the budget surpluses are expected to be $8.5 billion per year, but still politicians want to pile on more
taxes that are unnecessary.”
“Right now, more than half what motorists pay at the pump is tax. At what level is enough, enough?”
