ACT wants to make KiwiSaver earnings tax exempt
Another politician not doing their research. The top Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) is 28% and not all returns are taxed. For the 12 months ended 31/03/26 my KiwiSaver Balanced-Growth Funds (50/50) had a combined return 11.07% and a dollar gain of $15,932. Based on my PIR of 10.5% and according to Acts' calculations I should have paid PIE tax of $1,532. The PIE tax I actually paid was $159. I could go on but I won't.

ACT wants to make KiwiSaver earnings tax exempt
Kiwisaver scheme definitely needs an overhaul, and this is a good start. To further incentivise Kiwisaver, contributions could be tax-free but put a cap. Say, for income up to $100k or $120k (with periodic review).
