Taxation Administration Act 1953

This section applies if the trustee of a *complying superannuation fund pays a *superannuation benefit to a *KiwiSaver scheme provider.

The trustee must:

give to the *KiwiSaver scheme provider a statement under this section within 7 days after the day on which the benefit is paid; and

give to the individual in respect of whom the benefit is paid a statement in relation to the benefit within 30 days after the day on which the benefit is paid.

Section 286‑75 provides an administrative penalty for breach of this subsection.

A statement under subsection (2) must be in the *approved form.

Section 388‑55 allows the Commissioner to defer the time for giving an approved form.

other information relating to the benefit, including the *tax free component and *taxable component (as applicable) of the benefit.

The Commissioner may determine, by legislative instrument, the period mentioned in paragraph (4)(a).

The period specified in the determination:

may be:

all or part of an income year; or

all or part of a *financial year; or

any other period; and

may be different:

for different kinds of trustee; and

in relation to any other matter.

Subsection (6) does not limit the way in which the determination may specify the period.

Subsection (4) does not limit the information that the *approved form may require the statement to contain.
