IRD corrects the Prime Minister

Recently the PM has claimed that her Government had delivered billions in personal income tax cuts.

That is totally and completely incorrect.

To clarify matters, at FEC yesterday I asked the IRD to confirm if there had been any personal income tax cuts or changes to any personal income tax thresholds over the past seven years.

IRD confirmed that there has not been any personal income tax cuts, nor changes to any thresholds, over the past 7 years.

I'm glad you decided to do this, because Helen Clark has lost the plot thinking that welfare is equivalent to tax cuts.

Glad you exposed this. National must be a shoo-in to win the Elections now.
