Capital gains tax abandoned by Government

Fiona from Henderson

While the idea of CGT was only a recommendation from the Tax Working Group, it managed to gain enough steam to have almost everyone talking about it.
Both sides had valid points, but the wide range ramifications would've been detrimental to so many e.g. for those who have signed up for KiwiSaver.
This decision is a win for every New Zealander especially the poor, as they would've been the unfortunate ones that could least afford this suggested tax system.
Unfortunately, the businesses and the rich have 'escaped' yet another stake at them having to pay more taxes.
Another look at their tax rates will have to be investigated and what they are actually claiming for in their tax forms.
With the new ways that the IRD is introducing, it will be interesting to see what happens there.

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
