VBW Chartered Accountants

We will be closing this channel very soon. Through our new Moore Markhams channel we'll be sharing regular industry and accounting updates. Be sure to follow us there to keep updated.

We are proud to announce that we have joined the Moore Markhams network, and VBW will be known as Moore VBW.

We are still the same team you have been working with, just a new name and the backing of a global network. Visit our website for more information. www.markhams.co.nz/locations/new-plymouth/moore-vbw/

From today, we will be posting important updates on Moore Markhams .

Be sure to follow us there for more.

Something very exciting is on the horizon for us. Keep your eyes peeled for 1 April.

On 1 April 2026, several KiwiSaver changes will come into effect.

➡️ The minimum KiwiSaver contribution rate will rise to 3.5% (from 3%) for KiwiSaver members and their employers.
➡️ People aged 16 or 17 will qualify for employer KiwiSaver contributions, so long as they meet other eligibility requirements.
➡️ Members can choose to apply for a temporary KiwiSaver rate reduction or a savings suspension in myIR if they cannot afford the rate increase or would like to save in other ways. The rate reduction would take effect from the first pay on or after 1 April.
