Tax Policy this pm

Part 1 of National’s tax policy will be announced this afternoon. The full policy will be released in stages. I am around and about this pm so may not have it live but will blog it as soon as possible.

Prediction: No matter what the detail is, Labour will claim it is vastly less than what people are expecting. This is quite amusing, as Labour have been the ones trying to talk it up to be $7 billion or so and of course no-one sensible (which excludes the Minister of Finance) thinks it will be anywhere near that.
