9716 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Revenue: What contractor or consultant engagements, if any, are currently active across any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible, where the individual contractor or consultant is being paid at a rate exceeding $200 per hour, listed by department or entity, role or engagement description, daily or hourly rate, and contract start date?

Hon Simon Watts: Officials advise that consultants are engaged to deliver agreed outcomes or to manage a service. As such, engagements are not typically on an hourly or daily rate basis. Contractors are typically engaged at a daily rate. Inland Revenue has less than 5 contractors with a daily rate that currently exceeds $200 per hour. Their start dates vary between 2022 and 2025.
