Rebecca Baker: IRD Customer Segment Leader discusses Kiwis abroad dodging student loan debt
About this episode
A Kiwi doctor who’s lived in Australia for decades was arrested at Wellington Airport over about $180,000 in unpaid student loan debt.
Police stopped him as he tried to leave the country, his passport’s been seized, and he’s now stuck in New Zealand until it’s sorted.
It’s part of a tougher crackdown, with billions still owed by borrowers living offshore.
IRD Customer Segment Leader Rebecca Baker joins Kerre Woodham to discuss the details of the crackdown, and what will be done about Kiwis who are already abroad.
