Inland Revenue is warning of several scams circulating this tax season. Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.

Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.
Since then the IRD has been alerted to a scam email that asks users to enter their personal details to claim their tax refund. The email has the subject line, "IR3 individual income tax return 2016".
It's important to remember the IRD will not:
- Advise you that you are due a tax refund through email
- Send an email with a link to a webpage which asks you submit personal details
- Ask for credit card details or bank account numbers over the phone in order to process a monetary payment
- Ask you to pay a tax debt using gift cards or vouchers
- Sent you an email that does not include or ask for your IRD number
If you receive a suspicious email, SMS scam message or a fraudulent call please email phishing@ird.govt.nz or call them on 0800 227 774 (make sure you have your IRD number).
Log on to the Inland Revenue's website, register for myIR and use its calculator to work out whether you are owed money or have tax to pay.

This student is in New Zealand for 10 months .
Hosting a exchange student fosters lifelong friendships and deeper understanding of other cultures. It’s like gaining a new family member, you get to learn about another language and culture as well as share the beauty and culture of New Zealand.
By offering to act as a host family in a volunteer capacity (No board money is paid) you will provide an exchange student with the opportunity to study and experience life here in New Zealand.
Host families provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding, and a desire to share their kiwi way of life. All students speak English, are covered by medical insurance and have spending money for their personal expenses. They attend the high school/ college closest to their host family's home.
We know this is a big ask, it’s not for everyone, our families who are hosting get rewarded in so many other ways. Our own NZ students also have voluntary host families when they do their exchange in any one of our 26 countries.
SEANZ families are diverse! Traditional two-parent families (with or without children), single parents or adults, and retired couples all make wonderful host families.
If your family can offer a friendly supportive and caring home environment, contact us today.
Start making a difference in a young person's life and yours! . If you have ever considered hosting or are interested in finding out more about hosting.

Those real estate prices are making us green with envy - a five bedroom Tuakau house, remodeled, complete with a double garage, 2000 sq ft and separate one bedroom flat for just $37,000!
Any guesses for how much a 62.7ha Tuakau dairy farm with two houses, a cowshed, workshop, and two haybarns was to purchase in 1978?
