BUDGET 2025 UPDATE
=C2=A0
Dear John,
=C2=A0
Following the Minister of Finance's delivery of Budget 2025 yesterday, I wa=
nted to share some key aspects that I believe are particularly relevant to =
Ilam, reflecting the issues many of you, including those who I have recentl=
y door knocked, have raised with me directly.
One of the most encouraging areas is the significant investment in educatio=
n. Given Ilam's 32 schools and our university, education is always a paramo=
unt concern for residents. While there are numerous positive initiatives, I=
want to specifically highlight the increased support allocated for childre=
n with additional learning needs =E2=80=93 an area I know is deeply importa=
nt to many families.

pport in a generation to better support Kiwi kids at school. This includes =
funding all primary schools to have a Learning Support Coordinator.

INVESTMENT BOOST

This is a new tax incentive to encourage businesses to invest, grow the eco=
nomy, and lift wages. It allows a business to immediately deduct 20 per cen=
t of the cost of a new asset, on top of depreciation, meaning a much lower =
tax bill in the year of purchase.

heir rates payments.
