Income Splitting Moves A Step Closer This Month


Income Splitting moves a step closer to implementation this month with the public release of a Discussion Paper by the Minister of Revenue, Peter Dunne.

Income Splitting is a way for parents to split their combined incomes so that they collectively pay less tax. It is also a way for governments to give recognition to the role of at home parents. If Income Splitting is to win sufficient support in parliament then we need to have as many parents as possible write to their local MPs asking them to support income splitting.

Parents' Choice 08 encourages parents who believe in the value of parenting to also write to the Minister of Revenue and ask for a free copy of the Discussion Paper when it is released. Postage is free. Just write to : Hon Peter Dunne, Minister of Revenue, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
