TAX WORKING GROUP “MISSED OPPORTUNITY” – MĀORI COUNCILSpeaking at a forum on Māori Business, Council Executive Director Matthew Tukaki says Māori, Māori organisations and iwi need to look at the recommendations through a Māori lens. “For Māori, however, we need to see it in the context of what it might impact in terms of future Treaty settlements that could include assets like buildings and infrastructure. Does that cause an exemption?” says Tukaki. “The other thing we need to be mindful of is the debate around Māori economic development – as we push to develop up Māori land that will create a capital value and therefore at sale the difference between cost and profit may be taxable – should it be and will it be?” “I think also we have lost the opportunity to look at tax relief or creative ways of supporting primary industries to transition into a lower carbon future and we sure have missed the boat when it comes to Māori and the growing calls for a tax on water.”.... www.maoritelevision.com/news/politics/tax-working-group-missed-opportunity--maori-council

The idea of setting up a Māori-owned bank has ramped up in the last month with the Māori Council forming a working group on housing affordability...... herdongazette.com/moves-underway-to-set-up-maori-owned-bank/268156/
