3. At any time can a person exercise the right to revoke consent to participate in Kiwisaver?
4. Does IRD take into consideration a person's decision to refrain from joining KiwiSaver to be free from compulsion, intimidation, coercion, incentives or disincentives of a magnitude that effectively removes the exercise of choice?
