What do you think of Inland Revenue disclosing tax debts to credit reporters?

Inland Revenue’s proposed secrecy rules would allow it to disclose information for tax administration purposes.  This would include disclosing the fact that a taxpayer has a tax debt to credit reporters.  Do you agree with this proposal?  Do you think that there should be any restrictions on the debts to be disclosed, such as a minimum dollar amount?

Sounds like an excellent idea to me.  No limit on amount.

Similar thread to the other one. If the tax debt is crystalised yes, what I mean is prov tax , default assessments are not taken into account as well as tax in dispute. In addition is it right to disclose the child supoort debt?
