The promise was made at the campaign launch of Peter Kenilorea Junior's United Party in Honiara last week.
The current parliament passed a law in 2016 exempting MPs from paying income tax, which Mr Kenilorea said would be thrown out.
He says the country's current leaders - on both sides of parliament - have lost touch with the people they're sworn to serve.
Mr Kenilorea, who is the son of the independence leader Sir Peter Kenilorea, is looking to mount a campaign of radical reform.
