28096 (2024). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Revenue: Why was the 31 July application date chosen for the personal income tax change?

Hon Simon Watts: The government wanted to introduce long overdue tax relief as soon as possible. The 31 July date was chosen to balance our desire to give the tax relief with the time needed to allow employers, payroll software providers, payroll service providers and Government organisations to put the changes in place.
