Abdul Rafik is Inland Revenue’s Migrant Liaison Officer . From time to time he gives updates on IRD policies that are relevant to new migrants. This time its about Kiwi Saver
From 1 April 2009, some changes are being made to KiwiSaver. The changes include dropping the minimum employee contribution to 2% of the employee’s salary or wage, and capping employer contributions at 2%.
If you’re planning to enrol, or you’ve been automatically enrolled by your employer, please make sure you’re aware of the latest rules before you make any decisions.
Some KiwiSaver guides may not yet have been updated to reflect the 1 April 2009 changes.
