Taxation, tea leaves and tinsel

摘要

THERE'S NO point in looking back at 2018, other than to see what could or should be done differently next time. However, we can look to the future to see what it holds for business.Of note this past year has been New Zealand's change of government, though by the look of the Tax Working Group and The Business Committee members there will be little change, as the power of the status quo is being perpetuated.Of more interest, or should I say amusement, have been the reports of self-destruction of one political party. Whilst it hasn't made the news here in Spain it was media fodder for the best part of a week in the UK. The Brits were somewhat incredulous to see that 'little old New Zealand' has corruption too, as well as politicians who insist on behaving stupidly.
