Govt unable to confirm July timeframe for promised tax cuts

From Midday Report, 12:11 pm on 18 March 2024

The Government isn't able to confirm whether it will meet the July timeframe for delivering the tax cuts it promised, but says it intends to do so.

National's back pocket boost policy was one of their top promises, providing income relief to the squeezed middle.

But citing Cabinet process, Finance Minister Nicola Willis says she can't guarantee anything yet.

Previously, Willis said she would resign if tax relief wasn't delivered.
