Early family assistance payments
Because of Wellington Anniversary weekend, Inland Revenue will make the family assistance weekly payment on Saturday, 20 January, instead of the normal scheduled payment date of Tuesday, 23 January 2007.
"This means that customers with eftpos cards or access to telebanking will be able to access their payment on Saturday 20 January. All other customers will be able to access their payment on Tuesday 23 January," says Colin MacDonald, Deputy Commissioner Business Development and Systems.
The next weekly and fortnightly payment will be made on Tuesday, 30 January 2007.
