I was overseas earlier this year.

I was surprised to find that around late June I was prevented from placing bets by the NZ TAB using my TAB a/c.

They had a message to contact the TAB in NZ.Haven't done so yet.

Todays policy announcement by the Natz on how they were going to raise $14 billion to pay for their 'cuts' included this Ripley's 'believe it or not'...heroic projection.-'$179 million on average per year from closing a tax loophole and ensuring offshore operators delivering online gambling to New Zealanders, pay tax.🙄

Isn't that exactly what Labour have promised TABNZ and ENTAIN?

Read it and...weep...

'Minister for Racing Kieran McAnulty and Revenue Minister Barbara Edmonds are furthering their claim there is a sizable mistake underpinning National's tax plans - a centrepiece of the policy it will take to the October 14 general election.

National promised to close what it called a tax loop by charging online casino gambling providers based offshore, to pull in $179 million a year. McAnulty then said not only was the tax already in place, the plans were overcooked by about $130 million, because the tax take from this was now $40m to $50m.

So McAnulty lied previously as did TABNZ about the potential returns?

You can't have it both ways @holy ravioli .  

$130m over $4.6billion is 2.8%.  

Perhaps better to look at it a different way. Government bonds and Treasury bills on issue are now 75% higher than 2019 (worse if we go back to the start of this Labour Government).

Core Crown borrowing has doubled in 4 years to $196billion!!!!  It is projected to worsen once we see the books on 12 September.

Now the kicker the interest costs are now over $6billion or 16 million a day.  So $130m represents just over a week in Labours interest costs on the debt borrowed.  

Time for you to read and weep!!!

Do you honestly believe that on race and sport betting alone there is on $38m spent offshore by New Zealanders?

Can you direct me to McAnulty's lie or ...not?

I read it in the NZ Herald so it possibly might not be true.

That link is paywalled...does it say core crown debt is $196billion?

New Zealand’s total gross debt continues to expand and break new records.

New Zealand’s total gross debt continues to expand and break new records.

In our annual Nation of Debt series, we tally all the nation’s debt statistics, from across the private and public sectors.

This year we’ve hit a grand total of $790 billion.

That’s up from $739b last year — a relatively subdued increase of 7 per cent.

But that’s now an average of $151,000 in raw debt for every Kiwi.

Since the series began in 2016 that total nominal figure has ballooned by 60 per cent — from $492.5b.

Posted

It’s no secret that the massive scale of government stimulus through the pandemic has seen core Crown borrowing surge in nominal terms.

It was up another 17 per cent in the year to May 30 — to $193.63b.

So you are wrong..again!🤣

About what?  Turns out the debt is MORE than I said not less.   Have you revised your Key Government GDP growth rate figures?

Geez the reds are in for a hiding this election.

Wrong?  I understated the debt figures because I cited an older figure that has since grown significantly.

It's mad that you can't bet on NZ TAB if you are overseas, especially  if you are a NZ citizen, why, I would like to know.
