Description

Business NZ believes further action is still needed to address compliance costs for small businesses. 

It says the Government's making good on its promise to cut red tape, but its new progress report shows several compliance burdens across sectors, including construction. 

The Ministry for Regulation’s engaging with businesses, councils, and industry bodies to begin removing inconsistent regulations. 

Chief Executive Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking some areas, including hairdressing, are showing positive progress, but wants to see a similar approach applied across all sectors. 

She says 97% of all businesses are small, and the red tape they face can be significant.
