Tax cuts versus wealth tax - what's really best for New Zealand?

Tax cuts are always a hot topic before a general election, and 2023 is shaping up to be no different.

However, a new report from Oxfam has ranked New Zealand one hundred and thirty-sixth in the world on our distribution of wealth.
 
So while some want to see tax cuts across the board, including for the very rich, the other end of the spectrum wants to a new tax to break that concentration of wealth.
 
So which tax approach would actually work? And what can we learn from the international community about getting the balance right?
 
Today, Damien is joined by Oxfam Aotearoa advocacy and communications director Jo Spratt and University of Auckland tax expert Professor Craig Elliffe to discuss what the country should do on taxes.
