Its is quite amazing how many people and institutions the IRD owes money to and unless it is claimed by the rightful owner I guess the IRD get to keep it and use it for their Christmas Party.

Check and see if your name, or anyone you might know, is on the Unclaimed Money Register.

The figures on the register are not Tax Refunds but money left untouched for six or more years in companies such as financial institutions or insurance companies.
