Dear Mr Ryan

 

On behalf of Hon Todd McClay, Minister of Revenue, thank you for your
email of  11 October 2013. You have requested, under the Official
Information Act 1982, information regarding:

 

The total amount of penalty interest that has being created and gathered
by Inland Revenue for overseas based borrowers since the loan scheme was
enacted up until the present.
    
Is there any evidence that the penalties overburden and prolong repayment
of overseas based borrowers?
    
How much is the largest outstanding overdue debt including and the
breakdown of those penalties for an individual overseas based borrower?

The information you are requesting is held by Inland Revenue. I have
therefore transferred your request, under section 14 of the Official
Information Act 1982, to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue for her
officials’ consideration and direct reply.

 

 

Kind regards

 

Rachel Clarke

Private Secretary (Revenue)
