IRD reviewing tax laws for trading banks
Revenue Minister Michael Cullen confirmed today that Inland Revenue and Treasury are reviewing the tax laws applying to trading banks to ensure they are robust.

"I am expecting a report in the next few months and will consider at that time whether legislative change is necessary," Dr Cullen said.
