The Government's refusing to budge on an Auckland bed tax
The Government's refusing to budge on an Auckland bed tax
13 May 2025
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has laid out a Beehive to-do list in his updated Auckland manifesto - ahead of the 2025 budget.
It includes calling for the government to reconsider an Auckland bed levy, adding a small fee on short term accommodation.
Local Government Minister Simeon Brown says they don't want to lump Aucklanders with the tax.
He says in fact the council should be looking for efficiencies in its own budget, instead of new taxes.
