Tax on Tuesdays: TPS series - Wealth and Wealth Transfer Taxes

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

Wealth inequality in Aotearoa has grown significantly over recent decades, with a small number of households holding a large share of the country's wealth. While income is taxed, most wealth is not, raising important questions about fairness and how we fund the things we all rely on.

This session will explore the role wealth taxes and wealth transfer taxes could play in New Zealand's tax system, how they work in practice and the opportunities and challenges they present in creating a fairer and more sustainable future.
