55,000 people have Working for Families debt
Mother-of-two Rose has been handed a big Working for Families bill each year for the past two years, despite having her income assessed by Inland Revenue.
“I dispute it because they do a big assessment in February, then I receive a $1300 bill in March.”
Rose, who did not want to be identified, says her partner works fluctuating hours through the year, so their income changes.
“But I have no idea why I get such a high bill. It doesn’t make sense to get a $1300 bill if they have adjusted the income payments in February. Really annoying.”
