A significant number of hard working New Zealanders should take 10 minutes out of their holiday time to see if they are eligible for a tax refund, says Labour MP Stuart Nash.
'The IRD is holding around $750m in unclaimed tax refunds going back four years. This is money that Kiwi's have over paid in tax that they deserve to have in their back pockets.
'I would especially encourage those who work two or more jobs, and who pay secondary tax, to contact the IRD either by phone or through their website because they may well find that they have overpaid tax and are eligible for a refund.
'If a person has their IRD number, which should be printed on all their pay slips, it only takes around 10 minutes to see if they have money owed to them by the IRD.
'The unfortunate thing is that after four years, refunds expire and are no longer accessible so don't wait. There is nothing to lose, and you never know, there may just be enough money there to cover the costs of Christmas,” says Stuart Nash.

How about they give it all to those on sickness benefits or single mothers. The first lot now dying much earlier than they should with many now denied emergency funding for extras when illnesses balloon beyond their control and the latter have been attacked consistently for over 20 years and now live in abject fear imposed poverty with thousands of children now having been taken into CYF"S so called care simply because of recent law changes which NOW make it ILLEGAL to be poor in this country. The global government one world agenda driven oppress the poor until they die is deliberate policy whereupon the usable lifespan has been set at 44years of age and anyone over is redundant. Soilent Green/LogansRun scenario in the real world today. We have been fooled into believing ISIL and other wicked groups are our enemy when it is really our party voting politicians.
Give it
