Feature Article: Budget 2010 - A Fresh Perspective

The theme for Budget 2010 was well signalled. Significant changes were expected. The Tax Working Group, an independent group established in May 2009 and supported by Minister of Finance, Hon Bill English and the Minister of Revenue, Hon Peter Dunne, presented a set of core tax policy recommendations to the Government. By and large the recommendations were well rationalised and acted as a catalyst for the changes announced in Budget 2010.
