Whitewash a certainty in tax haven review
Written By:
Date published: 12:31 pm, April 12th, 2016 - 77 comments
John Key’s solution to the exposure of his ludicrous claims that New Zealand has full disclosure on foreign trusts nor is tax haven, is to appoint an expert in tax avoidance as the so-called “independent expert” to review the laws.

While Key is fighting to make sure our country remains a haven for his rich mates, he’s about to hit you and I with yet another tax. I don’t have a problem with taxes, but I do take issue with the hypocrisy.

Key changed the law to extend NZ as a tax haven
Written By:
Date published: 6:51 am, April 11th, 2016 - 289 comments
John Key personally directed the 2011 law change that turned NZ into an attractive tax haven.
