Dear Friend,

When we defeated Labour’s capital gains tax last year, we thought we had beaten back the extreme tax proposals promoted by the left to target homeowners, business owners, and retirees. But it’s come back much sooner than expected.    

I'm emailing to ask for your support so we can do it again.

Greens taking aim at you and your lifestyle  

A wealth tax is on the table this election – and your home, your retirement savings, and even your Kiwisaver are on the line. Even assets earning little to no income – like low-interest term deposits or your family bach – would be targeted by the wealth tax.  

Are you prepared to take the risk of closed-door coalition talks?  

While the Labour Party is trying to play down the Greens’ radical proposals to come after you and your assets, James Shaw has made the Greens’ position clear: he’s prepared to walk away from talks if Labour don’t play ball. He put his cards on the table in an interview with Mike Hosking.  

Q: Wealth tax?   

A: “Top priority”.   

Chip-in to the campaign to stop the wealth tax  

We are fighting this election to protect you and your family’s assets from the Green Party’s radical wealth tax.   

Only a strong Taxpayers’ Union can put pressure on Labour to reject the Greens’ radical proposal and make the public aware of just how damaging the policy would be.   

Join our fight to stop the Greens’ wealth tax and donate to our campaign.
