the most recent date. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
Information being released
As at 30 September 2025, the total amount of child support owed by liable parents is

Publishing of OIA response
We intend to publish our response to your request on Inland Revenue’s website

details removed, may be published in its entirety. Publishing responses increases the availability
of information to the public and is consistent with the OIA's purpose of enabling more effective
