Despite all of the long-stated myths, we know for a fact that Aotearoa New Zealand does not have a broad-based, low-rate tax system. In fact, as this report explicitly states, "New Zealand's tax system currently relies heavily on a small number of tax bases." Therefore, there is a really massive opportunity here as always, as has confronted Governments of the past, to make a decision to broaden our tax base, to make it more resilient; to re-orient its reliance, currently, on consumption taxes and income taxes; and actually to go about addressing some of the inequality by taxing massive capital gains or wealth, as this report touches on. I reflect on the fact that the top 1 percent of New Zealanders presently own 25 percent of the wealth in this country, and the bottom half own just 2 percent. Treasury noted at the Finance and Expenditure Committee, in hearings on this report, that they supported a capital gains tax, and said in a report on the capital gains tax that it would "improve the allocative efficiency of saving and investment by ensuring more economic income is taxed neutrally, would be progressive, and would improve the integrity of the tax system."
