Child support payment rules
D Bruce made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department
The request was successful.
From: D Bruce
Dear Inland Revenue Department,
Can you please tell me exactly what the rules are for people paying child support. Specifically:
* Under what section of which legislation is the IRD operating when it collects child support contributions
* Is a person who is receiving no income obliged to pay child support?
* Is it the responsibility of the taxpayer or the IRD to establish what level of income a person paying child support is receiving at any given time, and adjust the payment levels accordingly?
Yours faithfully,
D Bruce
