Woman receives two cent refund from IRD for a second time
"Too ridiculous for words," said Annabelle Rosner after she opened a letter from the IRD. It contained a letter stating the 75-year-old was entitled to a refund. Attached to the letter was a cheque for two cents.
"It is the second year in a row I have received this. The letter said it had something to do with KiwiSaver," she said. "I only ever belonged to KiwiSaver for an afternoon." She said her employer at the time quickly realised it was a bit silly to sign a 72-year-old up for KiwiSaver, so he cancelled it for her. She rang the IRD about the refund last year and said they seemed a bit embarrassed about it. She assumed they would have done something about it, so imagine her surprise when she came home in early February, after a few weeks away, to find yet another letter and cheque. "This time, the person from IRD I spoke to said that perhaps they ought to do something about it. What a waste of money to keep sending this to me," she said.
