This discussion document explores some proposals for improving the way social policy entitlements and obligations are administered by Inland Revenue. These entitlement and obligation payments are:
- Working for Families Tax Credits;
- child support;
- student loan repayments; and
- KiwiSaver.
The focus here is not on changing the fundamental policy settings. Rather, this document focuses on improving the way those social policies are administered by Inland Revenue, taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the modernisation of Inland Revenue’s systems.
