27294 (2023). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Revenue: What actions, if any, does the Minister intend to take to progress with assessments every 3 years of ‘the impact inflation has on the average tax rates faced by income earners, with a view to making adjustments to tax thresholds that are affordable and responsible in light of the economic and fiscal conditions at the time’, as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Back Pocket Boost’ document?

Hon Simon Watts: The Government’s policy programme and priorities are set out in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition documents. I am currently seeking advice on a range of these items from officials. Decisions taken to progress the Government’s policy programme and priorities, including decisions about agency funding , will be announced in due course. Advice and modelling officials provide to support these decisions will be proactively released as part of a proactive release process.
