Amazing. A real life example of exploitation of a minority group there.
How can that 1% ever get a fair deal in a democracy when left parties see them as a money tree to strip bare?
What's amazing is you lot fawning all over this. Read and understand, or try

'Passing Regulatory Standards Bill will exact high political price'
Former Prime Minister Sir Geoffrey Palmer analyses what's wrong with the Bill and whether we've reached a new low in NZ political life.

Yes.
It’s why commies don’t drop data, it’s all emotive bs about “rich pricks not paying their way”.
It's starting to come out now about the unexpected consequence of this and the current governments policies to get rid of the DHB's and then reinstate them. And it's the same for staff who were moved from local water companies to 3/4/∞ Waters and the establishment of Auckland Council out of ARC, ACC, FDC, PCC, MCC, WCC, NSCC and RDC.
A number of staff members were transferred to a new employer and lost their length of time service. The new entity then made them redundant but are only giving them redundancy from when they've worked for their new employer.... even though they may have been performing the exact same task when employed by a DHB, water company or Council for a large number of years.
When a private business is sold, the length of service which is used to calculate redundancy, begins again. But these are civil servants still employed by either local or central government. Great for the new entities as it reduces their expenses for laying off staff... but lousy for the staff.
Speaking of redundancy.... here's something to watchout for if you're offered a new job within a company instead off taking redundancy as a son of a close friend of ours has found out. Jim worked for a FGC company in their marketing department. The NZ operation is a division of an Australian company.
The company decided to make most of their eight marketing staff redundant and move the NZ marketing across the Ditch. They decided to still keep two marketing staff positions open in their NZ operation but in newly established roles and invited those who had been made redundant the opportunity to apply for those roles.... at lower salaries than previously paid. Jim and another person applied and were given the new permanent roles on new contracts.... restarting the time they were with the company. The others got large redundancy payouts... some in six figures.
Within a year, it was decided to transfer parts of the remaining parts to Australia and Jim and his co-worker roles were made redundant but this time there was no redundancy payouts for them as they hadn't been "with the company" in the new roles for over a year. Both took the company to the Employment Tribunal and lost.

You lot are so far right Margaret Thatcher is a commie by your standards
Interestingly, one of the biggest sector targets in NZ business is the banking sector.... especially because all of the money shipped off to Oz yet they pay more than 15% of the entire company tax received by the IRD..... they pay $2.5 billion of the $16 billion company tax paid last year.Nzs largest taxpayers and they are paying at or more than the 28% rate, as they should.

That said, they would love it if the suggested drop in the company tax from 28% to 25% went ahead.... it would give them an added $215 mill to shipped off to Oz.

Company profits can be 50% or 0%, they are relatively irrelevant.
All profits either get paid to shareholders (and taxes at their rate) or reinvested back into the business generating more tax in the future.
Therefore isn’t it better to be as low as possible to encourage reinvestment as the tax gets captured via shareholders if not.
The fact a company is owned by NZ shareholders or overseas is more an issue, but it shouldn’t dictate tax policy. That should be addressed by increasing NZer savings (eg increasing kiwisaver contributions)

I'm actually surprised they haven't figured out how to become a māori authority in NZ for tax purposes and only pay 17.5%
It won't be reinvested, just extracted

Well, I own shares in an overseas bank. Help me out to keep our profits back here!
As I said, no reason to make tax policy on that, we need to be a saving instead of spending country.

No one can afford to save, this government has wrecked the economy
