National believes that New Zealand should be a country where if you work hard, you can get ahead. National's promise of no new taxes reflects its disciplined economic management, focused on growing the economy, creating jobs, lifting wages and keeping taxes low. It's part of National's plan to fix the basics and build the future.
National needs more time to deliver its plan to strengthen New Zealand to better withstand global shocks. The tax choice this election is clear: no new taxes under National, or more taxes under Labour that will worsen Kiwis' cost of living. Labour's plan to spend more and tax more will make a mess of the economy again, and Kiwis will be paying for it.
What we'll do
No new taxes means you can keep more of what you earn so that you and your family have more choices about what to do with your own money
Keeping taxes low because we’ve managed the economy responsibly as part of our plan to fix the basics and build the future
National’s responsible economic management means the economy is set to grow faster than previously expected, with 220,000 more jobs on the way and wages growing faster than prices
National’s plan is in stark contrast to Labour’s. Between Labour, the Greens, Te Pati Maori and TOP, at least 9 new taxes are on the table to help pay for Labour’s $18 billion of spending promises.
“Labour wants to tax Kiwis more. National wants no new taxes. That's the choice at this election.”
