Join us for our final session, exploring the proposals outlined in our recently released Tax Policy Statement.

Aotearoa New Zealand is often described as an outlier among developed economies when it comes to our tax settings. But how different are we really, and what can international comparisons tell us about the choices we have made?

This session will explore how New Zealand's tax system compares with other developed economies and whether the policies proposed in Tax Justice Aotearoa's Tax Policy Statement would bring our tax settings closer to international norms.

Join us for the final session in our Tax Policy Statement series as we put New Zealand's tax system in an international context and consider what a fairer approach could look like.
