We are also supporting business to help people in work so that, no matter what happens, as many New Zealanders as possible can continue to provide for their families and contribute to their local communities. The support already provided through the tax system alone is substantial, and this support includes $2 billion in tax deductions to landlords through depreciation on commercial buildings; the removal of 95,000 taxpayers from the provisional tax regime by raising the tax threshold to $5,000; allowing businesses to claim back more for spending on low-value assets like laptops and phones; and allowing interest to be waived.
