National's Chris Luxon: Taxpayers' receipts will reveal which programmes bring results

New Zealanders would get a 'taxpayers' receipt' under National.

It wants Inland Revenue to give taxpayers an annual break-down, showing where money has been spent.

Treasury would also need to report each year on the performance of major programmes, to show whether they're achieving results.

National leader Chris Luxon says a lot of initiatives don't start off with a good cost-benefit analysis.

"And then, the problem is that actually there's no evaluations saying- is this initiative working or not? We want to stop stuff that's not working, we want to be able to power up things that are, and move money into places that are getting results."
