Mercer will deduct or refund tax on your behalf. You simply need to provide us with your IRD number and your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR).

Mercer KiwiSaver scheme is a Portfolio Investment Entity or what’s known as a PIE. This means any money you make through your investment will be taxed.

The PIR is the rate at which it will be taxed. A PIR is based on your taxable income, e.g. income from salary, wages and any additional sources of income that you would include in your income tax return.

FEES

The fees you pay vary depending on the investment option(s) you invest in. Please refer to the table below.

Fees are deducted from your investments and will also depend on the tax rate.
