Dear JB
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), received
on 14 March 2023. You requested the following:
All briefings and correspondence [in relation to recommendations provided to the
Minister] in the past 2 years regarding the following:
-
Adding a new tax bracket above the current 39% top tax bracket
-
Adjusting tax brackets with inflation
I believe that the information you have requested is more closely connected to the
functions of the Minister of Revenue, Hon David Parker. Accordingly, under section
14(b)(ii) of the OIA, I am transferring your request to the Minister of Revenue for
response.
The Minister of Revenue has 20 working days from receipt of this transfer to make a
decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Josh Green
