28520 (2023). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Revenue: Does the Minister intend to introduce a “…40% refundable tax offset for eligible games developers spending at least $600,000 on qualifying New Zealand game development expenditure from 1 July 2024”, as found on page 19 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if not, why not?

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.
