Possible new tax law

[king1]

ok not sure how relevant a 2013 article is going to be these days, but I see that it is trying to factor in the effects of FTC, AS, GST as well.  The Treasury values are only reflecting income tax.  

But i'm happy to make the following changes and remove the CM 

Is it fair that 5% of taxpayers pay 25% of all the tax?  ==>> Is it fair that 5% of taxpayers pay 30% of all income tax?

Is it fair that 50% of taxpayers pay no tax whatsoever?  ==>> Is it fair that 6% of taxpayers pay no income tax whatsoever?  

With the link to 
https://www.treasury.govt.nz/information...income-tax

The 50% number paying no tax is about those that pay tax but then have it given back as various tax credits and benefits.

so the statement is somewhat out of context.  There is nothing in either of those articles to suggest that is the case but if you can find me a substantiated link to suggest it is the case we can modify to include something like 'in effect, pay no tax after offsetting various tax credits and benefits.' . it makes sense it would offset the number
