Summary

The Advertising Standards Authority has slapped National Party with a ruling to pull their controversial Capital Gains Tax ad — because it falsely implied KiwiSaver funds would be directly hit by Labour’s tax, when in fact they’re exempt. While National argued some small businesses and KiwiSaver investments could be indirectly affected, the ASA majority found the ad misleading for lumping KiwiSaver in with assets that would be taxed without clear distinction. The party now must rewrite the ad or face the consequences of running deceptive messaging. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
