Investment boost – game changer for business or white elephant? | IoD NZ

|
By Darshana Elwela, Rachel Piper 
| Institute of Directors in New Zealand
The investment boost tax deduction introduced in this year’s Budget is the Government’s flagship measure to encourage businesses to invest in new, productive, assets. In a nutshell, qualifying assets acquired on or after 22 May 2025 will be entitled to an upfront 20% tax deduction. This will be in addition to any tax depreciation that can be claimed, although the investment boost will reduce the cost of the asset for depreciation purposes. So, this is a first-year tax depreciation boost.

On April 10, the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would require all voters to show documentary proof of U.S. citizenship — such as a passport or certified birth certificate — just to register to vote in federal elections. Supporters say it’s about protecting our elections. But what this bill actually does is put up steep barriers for tens of thousands of law-abiding Mainers — and for no good reason. This is not a partisan concern. It’s not a liberal or conservative issue.

Why did you become a journalist?

I job-shadowed a reporter and wrote for a local paper during high school, but it wasn't till I worked at my college paper I knew I was all in

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

On the couch, knitting, an audiobook in my ears and a cat or two on my lap.

Awards

Pulitzer Prize

2017 - Local Reporting

I was a writer and editor in a package of stories exploring sexual assault, which the Pulitzer committee called "a string of vivid reports revealing the perverse, punitive and cruel treatment given to sexual assault victims at Brigham Young University, one of Utah’s most powerful institutions."
