Kiwisaver contributions holiday (New Zealand)
KiwiSaver is part of a government initiative designed to increase the level of savings by New Zealand households and to support New Zealanders in their retirement.
A Contributions Holiday is for employees who wish to take a break from making KiwiSaver contributions from their pay.
Employees can apply to take a Contributions Holiday if they have been a member for 12 months or more or an Early Contributions Holiday if they have been a member for less than 12 months. This must be applied for by the employee.
Applying the Contributions Holiday in the Software should only be done after receiving the appropriate notification directly from IRD.
Once the notification has been received from IRD, the Contributions Holiday should be applied as follows.
