We recognise it's important, but there is a line we can't cross, which is creating the opportunity for people to exploit loopholes in our tax system so that we lose our tax base.
So that's the balance that we're working to strike.
What I hear anecdotally from those who've moved
money here with a golden visa is that it's not just the initial investment that counts it's the fact that they then go on to make subsequent investments because they get to know our business community better they see more opportunities in New Zealand once they're on the ground so I'm really positive about the prospects for that visa.
It's merino or cashmere.
It's a knit.
We will be looking at the stars.
Yes, I think even if we just look at the track record of New Zealand game development, it took around 20 years for our game developers to reach a revenue of about $400 million.
Then Australia introduced a really competitive tax rebate and we started to see a big brain drain over the ditch to Australia and a lot of our
really established studios starting to look to move offshore.
So the New Zealand game development sector rebate was introduced and up and running in 2023.
And within three years, we've more than doubled that revenue.
And for context, the revenue figures that came out yesterday are just from 43 studios that go through our program.
But the industry is actually 200 studios strong.
So when the figures come out in September from the New Zealand Game Developers Association, I think we'll see that their growth hit maybe 30, even 40%.
No, because ours is actually at quite a lower rate than theirs.
It's about 30% plus an additional 10% from a lot of federal states.
Ours sits at 20%, and what it does that's different from theirs is it actually rewards
development activity.
So what most people don't realise is that it actually takes about two to four years to make a gain before you'll receive the profits of that activity.
