55077 (2025). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Revenue: How many FamilyBoost claims for the Q3 2025 period, if any, have Inland Revenue declined, and what is the breakdown of the reasons for them being declined?

Hon Simon Watts: Officials advise that up to and including 26 November 2025, they have declined 5,209 claims for Q3 2025. Around 59% were declined due to income over the quarterly threshold. The remainder were declined for a range of reasons including issues related to the invoice, or due to a return not being filed.
