A further measure relating to the balancing act of penalties was added to this bill last year by a Supplementary Order Paper. The scheme currently imposes penalties when a parent fails to pay on time. There are further penalties known as incremental penalties, which are also added each month the payment remains outstanding. The net effect of the mounting debt is for parents to simply abdicate their responsibilities, so we propose to eliminate these incremental penalties. One other new addition to the bill are proposals to simplify the child support penalty write-off rules. Currently, there are a large number of write-off rules which govern when the IRD can write a penalty off. With the repeal of incremental penalties, we have the opportunity to make these rules simpler. We also feel that it's important for new participants in the scheme to start off on the right foot. To that end, we're proposing that newly liable parents have compulsory deductions made from their pay by way of employer. Many people already do have such arrangements with their employers.
