Taxation Principles Reporting Act Repeal Bill
This bill cancels a law that was passed earlier in 2023. That earlier law required the government to regularly publish reports showing how New Zealand's tax system measures up against certain tax principles — things like fairness and efficiency. This bill would scrap those reporting requirements entirely. If passed, the government would no longer have to produce those tax reports. The bill itself would also automatically disappear on 1 January 2025, as it's only needed to do the one job of cancelling the other law.
