The Future of Tax in New Zealand—Tax Working Group 2018 Public Symposium

The Tax Policy Scholarship Charitable Trust and CAGTR invite you to contribute your thoughts and questions on the major tax reform options under consideration.

Wednesday 28 November 2018
Rutherford House, Lecture Theatre 1

The Tax Policy Scholarship Charitable Trust, in association with the University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington, invites you to register early to hear from Sir Michael Cullen, Chair, and other members of the Government’s Tax Working Group (TWG), and to contribute your thoughts and questions on the major tax reform options under consideration.

This is a great opportunity to provide feedback to the Government and the TWG on the options and issues set out in the TWG’s interim report.

Should New Zealand tax capital gains? Would it make the system fairer and what would the effect be on you, your business, and your savings?
How can the broader tax system be improved? Are taxes an effective way of tackling environmental challenges? What strategies and recommendations are missing from the TWG’s interim report?

Speakers

Opening speech from Sir Michael Cullen, followed by members of the Tax Working Group.
Analysis from business, community, and economic commentators.
Chaired by tax commentator John Shewan.
