Work and research done on average incomes and joint tax returns

Laura Vaquero made this Official Information request to The Treasury

The Treasury did not have the information requested.

From: Laura Vaquero

Dear The Treasury,

I'm writing to request for work and research that has been completed regarding married couples being able to file a joint tax return or average their income, recognising the family rather than the individual as a taxing unit.

These details are provided solely to confirm my eligibility under the Official Information Act s12(1). Do not use these details for any correspondence or clarification about the request. For the purposes of OIA s16(2) my preferred way of receiving information is by email reply to the FYI.org.nz address from which you received the request. If you send correspondence to my private address you will be asked to re-send it to the FYI.org.nz email address, where it may still be published.

Yours faithfully,

Laura Vaquero
