Finalist: Best Plain English Sentence Transformation
‘Tax transactions’
At Inland Revenue, we know New Zealand’s tax system can be complex. That’s why we translate the laws into plain English for our customers. We want to make it easy for people to meet their obligations and claim their full entitlements.
Although the original text of ‘Tax transactions’ had a certain elegance, it was hard to understand without several readings.
It’s an honour to appear in the finals of the WriteMark awards. Our success will encourage us to continue untangling complex writing!
