Have you received an email from the IRD? It could be a scam

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Inland Revenue is warning of several scams circulating this tax season. Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.

Inland Revenue is warning of several scams circulating this tax season. Inland Revenue revealed earlier this month that there is about $183 million of tax refunds sitting unclaimed – enough to fly first class from Auckland to London and back more than 11,000 times.

Since then the IRD has been alerted to a scam email that asks users to enter their personal details to claim their tax refund. The email has the subject line, "IR3 individual income tax return 2016".

It's important to remember the IRD will not:
- Advise you that you are due a tax refund through email
- Send an email with a link to a webpage which asks you submit personal details
- Ask for credit card details or bank account numbers over the phone in order to process a monetary payment
- Ask you to pay a tax debt using gift cards or vouchers
- Sent you an email that does not include or ask for your IRD number

If you receive a suspicious email, SMS scam message or a fraudulent call please email phishing@ird.govt.nz or call them on 0800 227 774 (make sure you have your IRD number).

Log on to the Inland Revenue's website, register for myIR and use its calculator to work out whether you are owed money or have tax to pay.

South Brighton Voices and Lions Male Voice Choir - Jubilee Concert

South Brighton Voices (formerly South Brighton Choral Society) and the Lions Male Voice Choir in Concert, at  7.30 p.m in the Philip Carter Family Auditorium at THE PIANO on Wednesday 28th June

My understanding is, that the members of the male voice choir come from all over the British Isles, although their organiser and conductor comes from Wales.

This will be a very exciting concert for us, because we are going to be joined in the performance by the UK supporters of the Lions Rugby Team who follow the Rugby games in New Zealand, who will also perform in four other cities in New Zealand.

As the choir celebrates its 70th “birthday”, it also celebrates its new name of South Brighton Voices, as shown on the Poster I have inserted below. 

I understand that the Lions Male Voice Choir’s concert in Auckland has already sold out, and it’s very likely that the same thing will happen in Christchurch, so tickets may not be available on door sales.

Therefore, if any of you would like to go to our concert on the 28th, I can get tickets for you. Otherwise, tickets are available from Lies (said like “lease”) Callander on 388 0617 or liescallander@gmail.com
