Official Information Act figures show that, in one recent month, the IRD hung up on 45% of callers before they could get through. That was 286,392 calls. Callers often face long waits, that is if they get through. If you email, the response period can be 2-3 weeks, but in some cases it takes up to a year.
The IRD charges interest and the longer it takes for you to get through and resolve your debt, the more the IRD earns. We believe that this is an unacceptable conflict of interest.
