Christopher Luxon: PM discusses Bed Tax regional deal with Auckland

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

The Prime Minister says if the Government introduces a Bed Tax, it wants to ensure it does it the right way. An Auckland regional deal, signed by the council and the Government, includes a promise to look into a tax next year. Mayor Wayne Brown has been campaigning for the bed night levy on visitors - arguing it would help fund destination marketing and events. Christopher Luxon says there are a lot of conversations to be had. He says it's a question of whether it should be a national tax, as travellers may be frustrated with different levies in different regions.
