58813 (2025). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Revenue: How many FamilyBoost registrations to date, if any, have Inland Revenue flagged for fraud?
Hon Simon Watts: Inland Revenue has begun proactively publishing detailed information about FamilyBoost registrations, claims, payments, household uptake and customer contacts. Information will be published four times each quarter – twice for the first month after quarter end and shortly after the end of months two and three. It is my view that the application of additional resources to answer this and similar questions now is not a good use of taxpayer funds and therefore not in the public interest.
Inland Revenue’s published data can be found on their website.
