A well-designed tax system is a powerful tool to protect our environment and support our people. New Zealand’s current system is not getting us there. Kiwis experience high economic inequality and it is harming our well-being. We need to repair our public services and our welfare system and change our economy so that it runs fairer, cleaner and greener. A better tax system can help.

But to get the most from tax, we need to talk about it. Tax Justice Aotearoa, Victoria University’s Institute for Governance and Policy Studies and the Public Service Association bring you this discussion series to encourage debate and insight on where we are now, and where we need to be.

In this talk, join Bernard Hickey, Geoff Bertram and Alison Pavlovich to consider what the ideal tax system looks like to support a productive, inclusive economy.
