The Finance and Expenditure Committee is a select committee of Parliament that reviews bills and inquiries related to the economy, taxation, public spending and financial regulation.
For Civics users, it is a key parliamentary body for commenting on economic and consumer-law proposals before they are finalised.
Parliament seeks views on minimum and maximum increases in councils’ non-water rates, a regulator and exemptions. The proposed range applies to an average per rating unit, rather than guaranteeing the same limit on every property’s bill. No submission closing date is set.
