In an address to the NZ Institute of Chartered Accountants, Revenue Minister Peter Dunne discussed some of the achievements made in the last year with regard to tax policy. See the Minister's speech for more information.

Two Orders-in-Council originally made after the September 2010 Canterbury earthquake have been extended to ensure that support for Canterbury residents continues. These allow Inland Revenue to remit interest on tax paid late because of the earthquakes and the other allows Inland Revenue to share certain information with other government agencies in order to continue service delivery. For more information see the Minister of Revenue's media statement.
