The ACT Party says their $6 per day tax on temporary visa holders would not apply to seasonal workers - after David Seymour floated the idea on Sunday.
ACT are campaigning on a daily "infrastructure surcharge" levied on anybody in New Zealand with a temporary work visa. RNZ Pacific asked on May 4th whether this would include those on the RSE scheme, to which they said no.
"It's designed for standard work visas, not seasonal programmes." a spokesperson said.
