A tax expert says there is a concerning trend as businesses owe more and more to Inland Revenue.  

Businesses owe more than $1.4 billion in unpaid GST and PAYE from the 2025 tax year. 

Only $66 million of that is from businesses or individuals that are bankrupt or in liquidation. 

Deloitte Tax Partner Robyn Walker told Mike Hosking the construction sector alone owes about $1 billion.  

She says it is difficult to say how it stacks up against other industries.
