The Commissioner

Inland Revenue Department

 

Question: when is/are the exact date(s) and time(s), at which eligibility
(for COLP) is determined by IRD?

 

The Taxation (Cost of Living Payments) Act 2022 states: 'It is a function
of the Commissioner to administer the cost of living payments scheme'

 

The 'scheme' has several criteria, outlined in the Taxation (Cost of
Living Payments) Bill:

- income, 2021–22 tax year

- benefit status

- age

- residence status

- incarceration status

 

Clearly, the latter four can change, and with it, eligibility...  So, the
D's & T's matter - is it 'the first of each payment month'?

is it the 'Commencement Date', per the Act?

is it some random Date and Time, when IRD staff happen to push the 'check
eligibility button'?

other?

 

and don't forget the Time...

 

thanks

Allen
