[FYI request #25247 email]
Dear Peter Sime
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), received on 19
December 2023. You requested the following:
the most recent draft of the Commissioner's report compiled under section 10(1) of the
[Taxation Principles Reporting] Act.
Due to public interest, Inland Revenue intends to publish a copy of the report drafted to comply
with the now repealed Taxation Principles Reporting Act 2023. The draft report will be published
in early February 2024 on Inland Revenue’s tax policy website
(taxpolicy.ird.govt.nz). Your
request is therefore refused under section 18(d) of the OIA, as the information will soon be
publicly available.
Right of review
If you disagree with my decision on your OIA request, you can ask an Inland Revenue review
officer to review my decision. To ask for an internal review, please email the Commissioner of
Inland Revenue at
: [email address].
Alternatively, under section 28(3) of the OIA, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
investigate and review my decision. You can contact the office of the Ombudsman by email at:
[email address]. If you choose to have an internal review, you can still ask the
Ombudsman for a review.
Yours sincerely
Felicity Barker
Policy Director
