Think of all the extra people that will be needed in the IRD. Everyone will have to file tax returns again to ensure they only get the first $5,000 tax free. Up goes the state servants numbers again.

Actually I can live with the CGT but I can't agree with the GST being wiped off fruit and vegetables, and the increase in the top tax rate is just a typical Labour "anti success" tax. The first $5,000 tax free is simply a vote bribe. All political and not fiscal.
