David Seymour: ACT Party leader reveals why he disagrees with National's new tax policy
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has suggested a higher fuel tax, a bed tax and a bank levy could be discussed as part of a second term, but the ACT Party's not so keen.
Leader David Seymour says voters don't want new taxes, and there's a possibility that they could grow as discussions continue.
He says income tax started out as a small percentage impacting a handful of earners, and now we all pay up to eight times that starting rate.
"That's just a perfect example of why you say you're going to put a tax just on banks...but we all know that the customers will pay that."
