KiwiSaver Options
Requestor made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department
The request was partially successful.
From: Requestor
TO: Inland Revenue Department (IRD),
Please respond in writing to the following:
1. Is an eligible person's participation in the Kiwisaver scheme voluntary or a legal requirement?
2. At any time can a person, who no longer wishes to have ongoing involvement or membership with Kiwisaver, exercise the right to choose to opt out permanently?
https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1...
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?
5. Can the freedom of association be limited by IRD's policy?
6. Does IRD have special exemptions for people who do not wish to be Kiwisaver members?
