Dear Do Kim
Thank you for your request of 30 September 2021, made under the Official Information
Act 1982 (OIA). You requested:
I would like to obtain the information collected during the consultation process for
the new interest destructibility proposal.
This includes, but not limited to,
1) All feedback submitted (I don't require personal details)
2) Statistical analysis if you performed one
3) Qualitative analysis which summarises the consultation collected
4) Reports and recommendations made to the Government
5) Government's decision making process on how they came up with the new
tax policy announced 28/9 especially in relation to the consultation feedback.
As we advised on 8 October 2021, questions 4 and 5 of your request were transferred to
the Minister of Revenue under section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA.
The OIA requires us to advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working
days after the day we receive your request. However, under section 15A of the OIA, I am
extending the time limit for deciding on questions 1, 2 and 3 of your request by an
additional 20 working days. We will respond to your request by 26 November 2021.
This extension is required because the request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information, and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere
with the operations of Inland Revenue.
Under section 28(3) of the OIA, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate
and review my decision to extend the time limit on your OIA request. You can contact the
office of the Ombudsman by email at
: [email address]. Yours sincerely
Josh Green
