Page updated 31 Jan 2013
The third session of the Long-Term Fiscal External Panel was held at Rutherford House, Victoria University of Wellington, on Thursday 25 October.
The topic for this panel session was Retirement Income and Tax Policy Analysis and Choices.
This was the first of two sessions looking into individual policy areas. Within each area, the long-term fiscal issues and pressures will be discussed, as well as key policy choices available to address them. This session will discuss the areas of taxation, retirement income, working-age welfare and education. Policy choices will be analysed in the context of the frameworks considered in the first two sessions, including their implications for fiscal sustainability, economic performance and efficiency, economic resilience, intra- and inter-generational distribution and other considerations, such as environmental and social considerations.
An agenda and summary for the session are available below, along with a number of draft Treasury research papers that informed discussion at the session.
