Unclaimed Moneys Act, 1908

THE attention of all companies is drawn to the requirements of the Unclaimed Moneys Act, 1908, and amendments thereto, in connection with the payment of all unclaimed moneys to the Consolidated Fund.

A summary of the provisions defining a “company” and “unclaimed moneys” within the meaning of the Act is given hereunder.

The Act provides that every company is liable on 1st June of each year to enter in an alphabetical register, in the form of the Second Schedule to the Unclaimed Moneys Act, 1908, the particulars of all unclaimed moneys in an account which has not been operated upon for six years.

Not later than the 30th June in each year, or such later date as the Minister of Finance approves in writing, every company shall furnish a copy of every entry made on the first day of that month in the register kept by it, and shall, by letter addressed to him at his last known place of business or abode, post to every person in respect of whom any such entry was made as the owner of the unclaimed money, a notice specifying the amount of such money and the fact that it is entered in such register as unclaimed moneys.

All unclaimed moneys which have not been paid to the owner thereof within three months after posting to such owner of the notice shall be paid into the Public Account to the credit of the Consolidated Fund, and the company shall thereafter be relieved from further liability in respect of the moneys so paid.

Unclaimed moneys are recoverable by any claimant who is able to establish to the satisfaction of the Minister of Finance that he has a valid claim. Written application should be made to the Commissioner of Taxes by the owner of the moneys, supported by any relevant documentary evidence, and if application is made by a company on behalf of the owner of the moneys, the owner’s written authority for payment to the company should be forwarded.

Every director, manager, secretary, or other officer who knowingly and wilfully authorizes and permits a default in complying with the requirements of the Act is liable to the fine provided for in section 29 of the Finance Act, 1932.

The administration of the Unclaimed Moneys Act, 1908, and amendments, is vested in the Commissioner of Taxes, and notwithstanding that the Act provides for returns being made to the Minister, any communication regarding unclaimed moneys should be directed to the Commissioner of Taxes, Wellington C. 3.

“Unclaimed moneys,” as defined by the principal Act, means all principal and interest money, and all unforfeited dividends, bonuses, profits, and sums of money whatsoever owing to any person, which has been in the possession of the company for a period of six years or upwards, after the time when same became payable, and in respect whereof no claim has been made by the owner against the company.

A “company” means every company which, having for its object the acquisition of gain, is registered or incorporated in New Zealand or being registered abroad is carrying on business in New Zealand; the liquidator of any company; every person or firm carrying on business as traders in New Zealand and acting as agents or private bankers for individuals or companies; every bank and life insurance office, howsoever and wheresoever registered or incorporated, carrying on business in New Zealand; building societies under the Building Societies Act, 1908; incorporated societies under the Incorporated Societies Act, 1908; the trustees of any trust for religious, charitable, or educational purposes in any way subject to the Religious, Charitable, and Educational Trusts Act, 1908; all local authorities within the meaning of section 124 of the Public Revenues Act, 1926; and also all public bodies, the accounts of which are by any Act required to be audited by the Audit Office.
