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).
