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.

Did you know that more than 75% of alleged abusers are family members? We hear awful stories in the media of older people being abused in care facilities, scammed on the internet or taunted by the general public, but for thousands of older New Zealander's the abuse happens in their own home. Please get in contact with your local Age Concern if you suspect a family member, friend or neighbour is being abused. We can Help. #WEAAD #alwaysrespected

Sylvia Ratahi of People First says the challenge aims to highlight the difficulties people on mobility scooters and power chairs, as well as the elderly, face when getting around the District. “I have had one bad tumble,” she said, “and hurt my shoulder. Some road crossings are excellent, but many still pose real problems.” The challenge will be followed by a series of workshops to get input from disabled people and seniors on how to make Whakatāne more disability and age friendly.
The challenge on Wednesday, 14 June at 2 pm is not a race, but there will be awards for the best driving. Mayor Tony Bonne and Deputy Mayor Judy Turner joined Shirley Townsend and Sylvia Ratahi in Kopeopeo to inspect the course, with the Deputy Mayor stepping up to accept the challenge as the Mayor would be out of the District on that day. The Deputy Mayor said she was looking forward to the challenge, which will commence at the car park of the old Countdown building and finish at the Whakatāne Disability Resource Centre on King St. “I am keen to see first-hand the challenges residents on mobility scooters face,” she said, “and there is no better way than some real-world experience. It’s also great to see community groups getting behind the Ki Mua project to have their voices heard.”
The workshops will be held at the Disability Resource Centre on 21 June from 5:30 to 7 pm and on 22 June from 1 to 2:30 pm, and are open to the public. Whakatāne Ki Mua project organisers will be in attendance to gather input.
