Get Action! Say NO to Corporate Tax Cuts! w/ Glenn Barclay from Tax Justice Aotearoa and the better taxes coalition: 26 February, 2025

One of the main promises that National and the coalition ran on in the lead up to the most recent general elections was that of tax relief, by lifting the personal income tax thresholds for low- and middle-income earners and families, and most notably, landlords and large businesses. 

Funding these tax cuts have been widespread austerity measures, with almost  10,000 public sector roles having been cut as of December 2024.

In response to the government’s tax policies Tax Justice Aotearoa have launched a petition calling for capital gains taxes to be introduced and other tax reforms to achieve better social outcomes in Aotearoa.

Oto spoke to Glenn Barclay, Chairperson of Tax Justice Aotearoa and the better taxes coalition, about the petition and the issues with the tax system in Aotearoa.
