MMS #47 | From PIEs to PIRs: All your questions about tax and KiwiSaver answered
In this episode of Money Made Simple, Jennie and Liv dive into the not-so-sexy but super important topic of tax – specifically how it works inside your KiwiSaver.
Tax might not be everyone’s idea of a good time (trust us, we get it), but understanding the basics can make a big difference to how confident you feel about your KiwiSaver. Whether you've noticed your balance dropping in March, or you're just trying to figure out what a PIR is, this episode is for you.
This episode covers:
- Where, when and how your KiwiSaver is taxed
- What PIE funds are (hint: nothing to do with food unfortunately) and how tax works inside them
- The difference between how NZ and international investments are taxed
- Why you still pay tax even when your fund has made a loss
- How your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) affects your tax bill – and how to check it’s right
- What happens when you move overseas or have a kids’ KiwiSaver fund or joint investment fund
- Why paying more tax could actually be a good thing!
Resources mentioned in this episode:
- IRD’s PIR Calculator – work out your correct PIR
- Sorted – online resource for financial planning tools and information
- MoneyHub’s tax guide
- Canstar's blog – Is KiwiSaver Taxed?
- Simplicity’s tax FAQ
At the time of year, tax is one of the most common topics our Investor Services team gets asked about – and for good reason. So tune in and get the lowdown on KiwiSaver tax (with a few very average tax jokes thrown in for good measure - sorry in advance).
