contribution holidays

If you're an employee, once you've been a member for 12 months you can take a break from saving - this is called a contributions holiday. A contributions holiday is for employees who want a break from making KiwiSaver contributions from their pay.

There are 2 options:

• a contributions holiday (if you've been a member for 12 months or more)
• an early contributions holiday (if you've been a member for less than 12 months).

For more information on taking contribution holidays, please visit the IRD website or contact us on 0800 4 AMANAH (0800 4 262624) or info@amanahnz.com
