On April 26th, New Zealanders will get to find out how much tax the wealthiest citizens pay.

Separate studies by the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and the Treasury are expected to provide both a guide to and rationale for any tax reforms the Government may announce in the budget.

BusinessDesk commentator Pattrick Smellie says this release isn't a response to the recent OliverShaw report into our tax system and the April 26th date had been floated for a while.

Pattrick Smellie explained this release comes with an expectation the Prime Minister will deliver a budget speech shortly after.
