Making tax simpler - Proposals for modernising the Tax Administration Act

A Government discussion document, Making tax simpler – Proposals for modernising the Tax Administration Act, seeks feedback on detailed proposals for amendments to the Tax Administration Act.

These build on earlier proposals released for consultation in November 2015, set out in Making tax simpler - Towards a new Tax Administration Act.

The detailed proposals, which support the Government’s transformation of tax administration, are aimed at helping to get tax right from the start.

They centre around the roles of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, taxpayers and their agents, information collection, confidentiality and disclosure, and the design of a new Tax Administration Act.
