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
 - increase Māori representation across higher level/higher paid technical roles, with a particular focus on wāhine Māori.
 
Since 2020, Māori representation has increased from 12.3% to 12.47%. Aotearoa New Zealand working Māori population is 15% (Statistics New Zealand Household Labour Force Survey March 2024).
