Government Must Rule Out Taxing Your Holiday

The New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union is once again calling on the Government to rule out any bed tax that would apply to domestic travellers.

Taxpayers’ Union Communications Officer, Ella Dickson, said:

“Until rates are capped, councils are already taxing and spending more and more each year. The last thing they need is yet another cash grab.”

“An ‘alliance of mayors’ may want a bed tax, but taxpayers don’t. The least Kiwis deserve is an untaxed holiday in their own country.”

“National promised us ‘no new taxes’. They need to deliver on that promise and put the ‘bed tax’ idea to bed.”
