i need some advise . . . . .
i have been paying off my student loan forever it comes out of my pay each week & usually at the end of each tax year ill owe $50-120 which i pay within a few months BUT . . . today i got a $984.47 BILL from the "06" tax year with all the penalty intrest ontop! and i was like OMG!!! WTF, so rang & the girl really had no idea, why it had suddenly come up or anything, what can i do i have EVERY statenent for my loan dating back to 04, and not once is it mentioned that i owe that much or any money at all for that year and i actually have a letter from 05 tax year with a congrats on paying off your student loan ( which i had cleared the balance todate then, and . . i have another statement dating my new loan balance being transfered to ird from studylink on the 27/5/07 ??? so technically i didnt even have a loan balance for that period and i earnt 1/4 then of what i earn now and i dont pay that much a year back so i just am completly stumped any advice would be much appreciated

That is weird. And sounds wrong.
I would ring and get a contact name for someone to send the paperwork to and then photocopy all your old tax statements and write a covering letter pretty much saying what you said above and ask for an explanation. Other than that the best advice I can give (for what it's worth) is that it seems the most knowledgable staff at IRD work on Sat mornings. Whenever I rang during the week I got new people who didn't know what was going on but it seems like the Sat staff are made up of accountants doing extra work or something. -------------
