From: Emma Longden
Dear Inland Revenue Department,
I would like to understand what figures IRD are relying upon to calculate a notice of entitlement for child support. I am the receiving parent. This request relates to the child support year April 2026 to March 2027.
Please provide:
confirmation on the tax year used to assess paying parents income liable for child support
whether it was assessed income, PAYE income, Ir3 income and if so which year, an estimate, or a default assessment
the calculation sheet used to determine the assessment- as provided to paying parent
The purpose of this request is to understand how my notice of entitlement is less than the paying parents income as declared to ird.
Yours faithfully,
Emma Longden
