Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Arrgh! It's so confusing, eh? I guess that's what you get when trying to swing through loopholes. I think I'll just have to approach a company that can assure me that they have recently provided this service successfully.
As noone made mention of TaxBack, I'll leave that one for now. Jax mentioned Brittania, but I have heard
bad views of them too. I'll try to stay clear of the banks for now as I have read elsewhere in this forum that they have never done cash payouts. Thanks for the ASB brochure link Trigirl - I'll bring that up with the various potential companies.
I'll keep this thread posted.
Cheers
Brad
