They have been visiting Sutton Tools - a company whose factory in Kaiapoi went up in flames after a fire which was started accidentally in January 2022.

The visit comes following the government's Budget announcement of a tax incentive targeting businesses.
The Investment Boost policy would allow a business to immediately deduct 20 percent of the cost of a new asset on top of depreciation.

"It includes commercial buildings but excludes land, residential buildings, and assets already in use in New Zealand."
