Listen "Wealth or Capital Gains? What taxes should New Zealand be looking at"
Episode Synopsis
We may be two years away from our next general election, but the possibility of more tax is already being debated. Labour is starting to warm the public up to the idea of a wealth or capital gains tax being part of their 2026 manifesto - with leader Chris Hipkins saying its necessary to deal with our ageing population. The possibility of introducing either tax has been debated by the left, and rejected by the right, for years – but is it time we have that conversation? Today on The Front Page, we discuss this with tax experts Robin Oliver from Oliver Shaw and Geof Nightingale from Geof Nightingale Advisory.
