“Tax credits for KiwiSaver and superannuation fund contributions”

If you have a KiwiSaver scheme or a complying superannuation fund, the fund provider can get a tax credit. This tax credit is for member credit contributions to the scheme or fund. The amount of the tax credit is worked out using section MK 4. To be eligible for this, you need to meet some requirements set out in section MK 2.

The tax credit is calculated for a year that starts on 1 July and ends on 30 June. This means the tax credit is worked out based on what happens in that 12-month period.
