A boost to family incomes looks set to be a centre piece of Thursday’s Budget.
Finance Minister Steven Joyce confirmed a plan to boost “family incomes” would be outlined in the Budget “if we get room”, which suggests the package will be timed to kick in after the September election.
With the economy poised for 10 successive years of growth, tax revenue well ahead of forecasts, and surpluses conservatively estimated at $25 billion to $30b over the next four years, the Government could put aside billions of dollars for its targeted low to middle income families.
Joyce and Prime Minister Bill English have previously dropped some big hints that there will be a focus on tax thresholds, working for families and the accommodation supplement.
