As unemployment grows and the public sector looks to cut spending, jobs at the Inland Revenue are tipped to be the next to go.
Prime Minister John Key said as many as 18,000 more people may be unemployed than a year ago.

A department spokeswoman confirmed the restructuring but was not “in a position to say anything more as yet”.
