Christopher Luxon: PM discusses Bed Tax regional deal with Auckland
Published 1 week ago
Description
The Prime Minister says if the Government introduces a Bed Tax, it wants to ensure it does it the right way.
An Auckland regional deal, signed by the council and the Government, includes a promise to look into a tax next year.
Mayor Wayne Brown has been campaigning for the bed night levy on visitors - arguing it would help fund destination marketing and events.
Christopher Luxon says there are a lot of conversations to be had.
He says it's a question of whether it should be a national tax, as travellers may be frustrated with different levies in different regions.
