Te Pāti Māori has unveiled their 'radical' new tax policy ahead of the upcoming election.

These reforms include a net wealth tax, the removal of GST from food prices, a levy on empty homes and a $30,000 tax-free threshold.

Glenn Barclay from the Fair Tax Coalition says this plan is comprehensive and bold with 'innovative' taxes.

"Having said, these are really good ideas, they need to be fully explored and tested. That's the way it should be."
