Our strategic intentions

Pages in this section

Delivering the tax policy work programme The Government’s tax policy work programme (TPWP) sets out our policy focus.
Supporting Government priorities Overall, a strong revenue system contributes to making New Zealand a great place for people to live and work.
Ensuring trust in and the integrity of the revenue system So that New Zealanders continue to provide us with accurate information, pay their taxes, and claim only what they are entitled to, it’s important they believe in our values.
Finishing our transformation programme Transformation set out to help New Zealanders by reducing effort for customers, improving compliance, making policy changes faster and more cost effectively, improving the resilience of our systems, and making us more efficient.
Making the most of our new capabilities While the transformation programme will come to an end, Inland Revenue will continue to embed the changes made over the last few years. We will continue to look for opportunities to modernise the revenue system and make the most of our new capabilities.
Working with others to improve outcomes The Public Service Act 2020 aims to create a more modern, agile, unified Public Service that can deliver across agency boundaries to wrap services around New Zealanders’ needs.
