The New Zealand Taxpayers' Union is a taxpayer pressure group founded in 2013 to scrutinise government spending, publicise government waste, and promote an efficient tax system.[1] The Union was founded among conservative figures, and is often regarded as a right-wing pressure group.[2][3][4]
The group has also been accused of astroturfing.[5]
