Under changes to New Zealand legislation a managed fund may register to be a Portfolio Investment Entity which means investment income within the managed fund is subject to different rules relating to tax. All our retail products are currently registered as PIEs. Among these rules capital gains on all New Zealand and some Australian shares incur no tax while other income is subject to tax calculated on the basis of each investor’s Prescribed Investment Rate (PIR).
The Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) regime is a regime for the taxation of PIE managed funds. The PIE's income is attributed to its investors, based on their shares of the PIE, and is taxed at each investor's Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR). The PIE regime creates tax advantages for some investors, mainly because the maximum PIR is 28%. The regime therefore provides tax benefits to investors who are on a 30% or 33% marginal tax rate and invest in a PIE.
A PIR is the tax rate used to calculate tax on taxable income. Each investor, whether an individual, company, trustee, registered charity or superannuation fund, has a PIR which you must supply at the time of investment. In order to work out which rate applies to you please contact the IRD www.ird.govt.nz
Please visit the Existing Investors TAB.
Additional investments can be made using the Application Form included in the PDS or by emailing info@mintasset.co.nz. Any subsequent investment will not require you to resubmit proof of identity.
