Taking a KiwiSaver contributions holiday

A KiwiSaver contributions holiday is a break in employee deductions and employer contributions.

Follow this process if your employee requests a contributions holiday and you pay them through the education service payroll:

1. Receive employee's KS6 form and complete employment details
2. Copy the form then post it to Inland Revenue
3. Tell your employee what happens next

---

Receive employee's KS6 form and complete employment details

Your employee will return the Contributions holiday request KS6 to you after they've completed Section A Personal details.

Complete Section B Employment details, using these employer details:

Contributions holiday request KS6

---

Copy the form then post it to Inland Revenue

Post the original to the Inland Revenue.

Place the copy of the completed Contributions holiday request KS6 on your employee's file.

---

Tell your employee what happens next

Inland Revenue will send your employee a contributions holiday approval or decline letter.

Pay centres will stop an employee's deductions within two pay periods of a contributions holiday being approved by Inland Revenue. If your employee's deductions don't stop, send a copy of their approval letter to your pay centre.
