Self-employed Kiwis are prioritising their businesses rather than thinking about retirement. A report by the Retirement Commission and accounting firm Hnry shows just 44% of self-employed people actively contribute to KiwiSaver. This is compared to 78% of employees. The report also reveals 41% of self-employed workers don't get any government KiwiSaver contribution. Retirement Commissioner Jane Wrightson told Mike Hosking they're having to make trade-offs. She says employees get contributions from their employers, but self-employed people are having to pay themselves. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
