Maximising Returns
There are several strategies that can be employed to maximise returns from the KiwiSaver scheme. These strategies depend on individual circumstances.
- If their provider allows, those with high-interest mortgages can use part of their KiwiSaver savings to pay back their mortgages (Withdrawn and only available to those signed up to mortgage diversion before 1 June 2009).
- Taking a contribution holiday to avoid paying 2% of one's salary, but continuing to pay $10 a week to get the matching government tax credit.
- Business owners may find it advantageous to pay themselves (and family members) a salary in order to get $520 worth of tax credits.

Famous quotes containing the word returns:
“Under the spell of moonlight, music, flowers or the cut and smell of good tweeds, I sometimes feel the divine urge for an hour, a day or maybe a week. Then it is gone an my interest returns to corn pone and mustard greens, or rubbing a paragraph with a soft cloth.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
