Taxation (Annual Rates for 2021-22, GST, and Remedial Matters) Bill
On 9 November 2021, members of the Taxation Committee and the Workplace Savings Committee provided feedback on the FSC submission on the Bill. The key areas of focus were calculating the amounts of tax for employer’s superannuation cash contributions, expressing that we do not support ACC and KiwiSaver being made subject to a time bar to align with PAYE deductions, and FDR FX hedging rules feedback.
On 8 December, Mike Woodbury from the Workplace Savings Committee and Taxation Committee Co-Chair Adele Smith provided oral submissions on the Bill on behalf of the FSC. Both did a fantastic job conveying our positions and responding to several Committee questions showing their technical knowledge and expertise in this space, thank you both!
The video of all oral submissions is available here. The FSC will continue conversations with the Inland Revenue prior to their provision of recommendations to the Committee. The Select Committee Report is due on 23 March 2022.
