Some interesting "Wealth Tax" ideas in there and proposed changes that would net an extra ~$5B (estimated).

  • Big corporations tax: The corporate tax rate will be increased from 28 percent to 33 percent for big companies with annual turnover exceeding $30 million. This will impact about 0.7 percent of businesses (e.g. banks, supermarkets and energy companies).

And new income tax rates:

Current

Income band Tax rate
0 - $15,600 10.5%
$15,601 - $53,500 17.5%
$53,501 - $78,100 30%
$78,101 - $180,000 33%
$180,001 and over 39%

Proposed

Income band Proposed rate
$0–$9,999 0%
$10,000–$19,999 10%
$20,000–$39,999 17.5%
$40,000–$59,999 25.5%
$60,000–$79,999 30.5%
$80,000–$159,999 33.5%
$160,000+ 45%

That's definitely my plan. I'm in Remutaka electorate, which Hipkins is all but guaranteed to win.
