What would a change of Government cost farmers?

The Taxpayers’s Union has looked at what a change of government could cost NZ farmers. It isn’t pretty:

  • Labour’s no rates cap – an extra $10k rates after three years
  • Labour’s ute tax – $6,900 per ute
  • Green’s wealth tax – $131k/year
  • Green’s death tax – $2.07m
  • TPM wealth tax – $150k/year

Imagine what food prices will be as farms become unprofitable with taxes greater than profits!
