Taxable Accommodation Allowances – EXEMPT from KiwiSaver calculations
Unless your employment agreements state otherwise, Taxable Accommodation Allowances are exempt from KiwiSaver Calculations. If this is the case for any new employee’s, and annually for existing employees, send a message via your myIR login to advise the value of an employee’s gross earnings that are NOT subject to KiwiSaver calculations to avoid getting IR mail stating you have under-calculated KiwiSaver amounts. Any questions, please call us.
