Taxation (Annual Rates for 2025–26, Compliance Simplification, and Remedial Measures) Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 12 Sep 2025

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This is an omnibus bill that sets the annual rates of income tax for the 2025–26 tax year and contains proposals aimed at improving current settings within a broad-base, low-rate framework and improving settings for tax administration, GST, KiwiSaver, and social policy rules.
