    Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020–21, Feasibility Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill Government Bill As reported from the Finance and Expenditure Committee Commentary Recommendation The Finance and Expenditure Committee has examined the Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020-21, Feasibility Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill and recommends by majority that it be passed with the amendments shown. Introduction The bill is an omnibus bill, which seeks to amend the following legislation: • Income Tax Act 2007 • Tax Administration Act 1994 • Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 • Student Loan Scheme Act 2011 • KiwiSaver Act 2006 • Companies Act 1993 • Land Transfer Act 2017 • Social Security Act 2018 • Accident Compensation Act 2001 • Taxation (Disclosure of Information to Approved Credit Reporting Agencies) Regulations 2017 • Public and Community Housing Management (Prescribed Elements of Calcula- tion Mechanism) Regulations 2018. The bill has three main purposes. First, the bill seeks to improve the current tax set- tings by ensuring that the current tax rules are working as intended. 273—2 Taxation (Annual Rates for 2020–21, Feasibility 2 Expenditure, and Remedial Matters) Bill Commentary The bill also seeks to modernise the tax settings regarding the Inland Revenue Department’s administration of KiwiSaver and Working for Families. Finally, the bill would set the annual rates of income tax for the 2020-21 tax year. The New Zealand National Party differing view National Party members believe that New Zealand taxpayers have been subject to bracket creep for many years.

    Level 4, Central House 26 Brandon Street PO Box 25 498 Wellington 6146 + 64 4 473 7623 [email protected] www.ncwnz.org.nz 27 January 2021 S20.14 oral Oral submission to the Social Services and Community Select Committee on the Child Support Amendment Bill No. 228-1 Presenters Raewyn Stone and Bernice Williams. Committee Members present: Glen Bennett (Acting Chair), Labour; Angie Warren-Clark, Labour; Karen Chhour, ACT Party; Emily Henderson, Labour; Teresa Ngobi, Labour; Maureen Pugh, National; Ingrid Leary, Labour; Penny Simmonds, National. Introduction Tena koutou i tenei ahiahi. Good afternoon. I am Raewyn Stone and I convene the Public Issues Committee of the National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCWNZ). With me is Bernice Williams of the Parliamentary Watch Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to our written submission on this very important Bill. The National Council of Women represents over 200 organisations and individual members, affiliated at either a national or branch. Collectively, we represent over 450,000 members. General comment Our submission was based on long-standing NCW policy reflecting our strong commitment to the wellbeing of children and families, the United Nations’ Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child; so, we are generally supportive of the measures in this Bill to improve the fairness of the Child Support system. However, we believe the Bill as stands is a missed opportunity to decisively tackle child poverty and the inequalities, anomalies and unfairness in the current Child Support system that particularly impact on women.
