Our vision is a prosperous low tax New Zealand with efficient, transparent, and accountable government.
WE STAND FOR VALUE FOR MONEY FOR GOVERNMENT SPENDING
We want our politicians spending money as if they'd worked as hard as the taxpayers who earned it and believe that new taxes should only be introduced when there are equal decreases in other taxes. We believe in a fair and efficient tax system. We are not a political party nor aligned to any.
The aims of the Taxpayers' Union are:
- To reduce wasteful spending by central and local government;
- To increase transparency and accountability of government spending;
- To increase institutional checks on government spending;
- To enable New Zealanders to easily scrutinise government spending;
- To lower the tax burden on New Zealanders; and
- To promote evidence based public policy.
Our mission is to seek lower taxes and value for money from every tax dollar.
We promote sensible restraint of government expenditure by:
- Scrutinising government spending;
- Publicising government waste;
- Arguing for an end to corporate and union welfare; and
- Promoting an efficient tax system.
