Chris Hipkins: Labour leader on the party's new scheme designed to help out small businesses

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Labour says its new election policy aimed at small businesses is about making life a little easier. If it gets into power, the Labour will raise the GST threshold, lift asset write-offs and require big businesses to pay up faster. It would axe the current Government's Investment Boost, which lets businesses deduct 20 percent of the cost of a new asset. Leader Chris Hipkins says small businesses shouldn't be a line of credit for big businesses.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
