Susan St John
Susan St John is an Associate Professor at Auckland University and a prominent critic of New Zealand's Working for Families tax credit system, particularly the Minimum Family Tax Credit (MFTC). She argues that the MFTC creates disincentives for work, as it does not adequately encourage increased working hours and can lead to families facing high effective marginal tax rates. St John has called for reforms to simplify the system, emphasizing that the current structure fails to support struggling families effectively.
