IRD. Don't ya fucken love 'em!

[White trash]

Got a letter today from my mates at the Inland Revenue department.

Crux of it is, because I earned more than "X" two years ago, I now have to pay 30% more in child support, regardless of what I earn now!

I got no problem paying child support, they're my kids and I want to be able to help where I can. They shouldn't be dissadvantaged because I'm a shitty husband.

I wouldn't be so irate if their mum received the extra I'm going to pay, but she wont see a dime of it.

Interestingly, they don't calculate transport or vehicle running costs into the living expense they work out.

As a result, there's a very good chance I'll need to sell the bike to feed and cloth myself. Amazing! Did you know, that a 29 year old male is supposed to house, feed and basically survive on $12K a year?

This system takes it the fucking arse, I'm one pissed off mutha'.

[Blakamin]

what a bunch of cunts!!!!

If the mothers got the money, fair enuff, but that is just bullshit!!! in Oz you can actually make your own agreement with the mum and tax pricks stay out of it... provided you stick with the agreement....
I cant believe the fuckers can do that!!!!

12k???? what the fuck!!!!
My rent is more than that!!!!!

[Hooks]

I feel for ya mate ... I've been fucked by those arseholes myself and they have no idea of what the real world is like ... !! Interestingly my ex has been assessed and she only has to pay $82.15 a month for 4 kids !!! That is a fuckin' insult as far I'm concerned .... but then as she is in the UK they can't make her pay a cent anyhow ....
Anyhow I hope you don't have to sell the bkie ... that would suck .... Oh, Oh, I have just had a thought ... why not donate the the bike to the kids ....but you "look after it" for them ......

It sucks mate. I have 3 mates who have all left the country because they couldn't live on what was left. One mate changed jobs, was reassessed and ended up $300 short every pay. His parents who live overseas paid for him to move in with them. The sucky thing is, it was his wife who had an affair and chucked him out. The wife won't let the kids out of the country.

IRD wouldn't know decent amount to live on if it bit them on their jelly-like cave-dwelling arse.

Let me know if you need a hand faking your own death.

Exactly! So I got less than no money to eat, dress and travel with.

[Jantar]

Of course. And that 12K is BEFORE tax.

Yep, been there done that. The worst one is where you think your child support deductions have all ceased, then the buggers decide to reassess a previous year and give you a bill for 5K with 4 weeks to pay it.

Yeah, I got that one last year (only half that ammount though). Coulda killed some prick. And the helpfull woman on the other end of the phone sez "Well it MUST be paid` in full within five weeks. We can deduct $527 per week from your wages if this helps?"

"Ahhhhh yeah! That's gonna help heaps, bitch!"

Fuck these people have no clue!

[Ramius]

And the thing is they will keep f'ing you over until the day you die, and even after that. For example, the ird went to someone I know and said, hey, you owe us $5000 from three years ago, he couldn't pay and was bankrupted, and now they have come back and said you owe us $7000 from 13 years ago.

The system is made to screw everyone. I am sorry I can't offer you advise except to say maybe seek legal aid or something?

I agree with Ramius. Go and get yourself some good advice. Have a chat to an accountant or a tax lawyer.

Not going to do any good sorry Hitcher.

I'm sorry to tell you Jimmy, but you're screwed here if you owe child support retrospectively.

As far as this years child support goes, if the amount you are earning is MORE THAN 15% LESS than what you earned the year previously, you can re-estimate your income this year.

Also, if your income goes up, for goodness sake, DON'T re-estimate. They can only tax you based on your LAST financial year's income - as you haven't told them different, that's what they base it on.

I know how you feel - they expect me to feed and clothe and house a family on $22K a year.

And when the young fella's born, we get a whole extra $12 to play with.

Re-estimate your income immediately.

Call me if you want to know more, ok?

[toads]

Oh shit, this is so awful, I can see why people leave the country, I'd definately seek legal advice and try to find a way to sort it out, don't sell your bike, there's gotta be some reason for working everyday, if all else fails become a beneficiary, or a student until the kids are 18!

[James Deuce]

Based on the experience of the now Ex-Pat Kiwis I have to agree. If you turn up with an expert they find new and exciting ways to relieve you of your money. Plus they can just take it now, and they can delay longer than you can live without money.

I think you have child support and family support confused,family support is what ird pay you to supplement your income as you are living with your wife and children, child support is what you pay to the ird because you are not living with your wife and children.

Nah - he has two families.

Get sacked and go on the dole. That way you'll get heaps of free shit and have more money to play with. You could claim that bikes are part of your tangata whenua and they'll fund a world trip to all the MotoGP rounds.

When I win lotto expect a 05 gixxer thou to turn up at your gaff.
