New Zealand's National Party Says Tax Cuts Must Wait for Budget Surplus

New Zealand's ruling National Party says it will wait for a budget surplus before cutting taxes.

The party says the country's debt burden and budget deficit make this the wrong time for tax cuts.

A budget surplus means the government brings in more money than it spends.

The statement links any future tax cuts to improving the government's finances.

It does not say when a surplus might be reached or when tax cuts could happen.

The announcement concerns the timing of tax cuts, not a specific tax proposal.
