Inland Revenue Te Tari Taake aims to improve Māori representation across all levels of our workforce to reflect New Zealand’s population. Our three representation goals are to:
- increase Māori joining our organisation
- increase Māori in leadership roles, focusing on Team Lead roles and senior leadership, with a particular focus on wāhine Māori
