Tax system under scrutiny

4:38 pm on 10 May 2009

New Zealand's tax system is to be studied by a working group which will assist the Government on policy challenges.

The Tax Working Group involves academic experts and members of the financial sector.

The group is chaired by Bob Buckle, the Dean of Victoria University's Faculty of Commerce and Administration.

Professor Buckle says it has been told to take a broad look at the system, including personal and corporate tax, and GST.
