They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.
How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.

Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?

I have used about 100m of this reel and it still looks about 2/3 full. Hense the 300 estimate. It leaks a bit but not enough to bother me but you may want to fix it. The metal skids on the bottom have rusted and should be replaced or reinforced. Must be collected by 5th April.
