Broad base, low rate and superannuation taxation Questions about whether tax is an effective tool to encourage savings: if so, how? Chair: Craig Elliffe, the University of Auckland 1

4 4 What is the problem with KiwiSaver and Retirement Incomes Policy? The Retirement Income Policy Issues New Zealanders say they need 2 times NZ Super for a comfortable retirement. Only 8% say they can be comfortable on NZ Super alone. In most developed countries middle income employees contribute into a super scheme that provides them with a retirement income of 60-80% of their pre-retirement income compared with around 42% for someone on an average wage retiring on NZ Super alone in New Zealand. For someone on the minimum wage we estimate they would need to save 13.1% of their pre-tax income over 40 years to fund a comfortable income in retirement at 2 times NZ Super on current policy settings if they have defaulted into a conservative KiwiSaver fund.
5 5 What is the problem with KiwiSaver and Retirement Incomes Policy? The Retirement Income Policy Issues Only about 6% of KiwiSavers are currently saving enough to reach that level of income in retirement (saving 10% or more of income). The biggest drivers for achieving a comfortable retirement are: the investment style of your KiwiSaver fund, then the tax rate you pay in your KiwiSaver fund and finally the fees you pay. On current KiwiSaver policy settings most middle income New Zealanders cannot afford to save enough to fund a comfortable retirement.
6 6 How do New Zealanders currently build their wealth? What the Report is Not About Age Use your funds left over to invest in rental property, KiwiSaver, term deposits or shares. 1. How we will provide retirement incomes in Age Insure your assets, life and ability to earn. the next 20 years so if you are already Age Buy a house or flat with the aim to owning your retired or soon will be, it is not about you. accommodation without a mortgage by the time you retire. 2. Relitigating Age Get a good the job and debate keep as many members about of your National family in employment as possible and save to invest. Savings. Age Age 2 1. Get the best possible education and training to earn a good income. At all levels education is strongly subsidised by the taxpayer

8 8 The greater the leverage (level of debt) in the rental property and the shorter it is held, the lower is the effective tax rate Years before rental property is sold Leverage ratio 0% 50% 80% 100% 10 years 22.68% 10.22% (4.55%) (6.05%) 20 years 23.42% 12.83% 1.47% (2.83%) 30 years 24.13% 14.79% 5.20% (1.02%) 40 years 24.80% 16.37% 7.90% 0.37% 50 years 25.45% 17.71% 10.02% 1.55% These examples are for an investor in the 33 % tax bracket. The tax rates in (brackets) are negative. In effect the tax system pays you (subsidises you) to receive this form of income.
9 9 Why is the effective tax rate on compounding return products What like KiwiSaver the and Report bank term is Not deposits About much higher than for investments in rental property? 1. How we will provide retirement incomes in New Zealand stands out as the only country that combines: Comprehensive the next accrual 20 years taxation so of the if returns you are from debt already instruments. No retired capital gains or tax soon on rental will property be, for it most is not investors. about you. Unconstrained deductibility of interest on debt used to purchase rental 2. property. Relitigating the debate about National Savings. We have the largest bias in favour of investing in rental property and against saving for retirement in financial assets such as KiwiSaver or bank term deposits of any comparable country we could find. In most countries the tax system is strongly biased in favour of retirement savings in superannuation products and against investment in rental property.
10 10 What Creates the Rental Property Tax Bias Over Debt Instruments and KiwiSaver? What is taxed? the Report is Not About With debt instruments capital gains are taxed, on rental properties they generally are not. 1. How we will provide retirement incomes in When it is taxed? Under the accruals next tax 20 regime years accumulating so if earnings you from are savings already including any retired or soon will be, it is not about you. capital gains are taxed as they occur reducing the net amount that can be reinvested whereas even if a capital gain on rental property were taxed it would only be taxed on realisation (when it was sold). 2. Relitigating the debate about National Deductibility of nominal interest Savings. The part of interest that is not economic income (the compensation for inflation) is deductible from the rental property income and from an investor s other income when they exceed the net rental return. For a typical rental property investor in the 33% tax bracket, saving for retirement after age 40 by investing in rental property and re-gearing up (increasing leverage) as their equity increases and deducting the nominal cost of interest from their other income, the tax advantage over investing in KiwiSaver is overwhelming.
11 11 Why Saving a Little for a Long Time in KiwiSaver Does Not Work In New Zealand What the Report is Not About The Effective Tax Rate impact increases the longer the term of saving Annual savings required Impact of tax on 1. How we Years will of saving provide retirement incomes in No tax With Tax cumulative return the next years $37,481 so if $40,479 you are already 44.3% retired or 20 soon $15,112 will be, $17,918 it is not about 47.7% you. 30 $8,024 $10, % 2. Relitigating the debate about National 40 $4,736 $6, % Savings. 50 $2,948 $4, % Assumptions: 4% real rate of return, 2% inflation, 28% PIR (Prescribed Investor Rate). Required annual savings shown is in 2013 dollars, and is assumed to increase with inflation. The longer you save in KiwiSaver the greater the tax impact on the cumulative returns but if you try to save over a shorter period of time the contributions required each year are not affordable for most New Zealanders.

Relitigating the debate about National Savings. Moving default KiwiSaver investment portfolios from conservative into portfolios with more growth assets and offset the increased risk with the provision of capital guarantees paid for out of additional contributions. Levelling the playing field for taxing KiwiSaver investments so they face the same effective tax rates as investments in rental property. (Paid for mainly by removing the annual $521 tax credit.) In future have some reduction in fees as account balances and FUM grow.
18 Possible Pathways to Retirement Prosperity NZ Super with KiwiSaver Plus Universal KiwiSaver (Compulsory for employees) What the Report is Not About Aim to achieve a comfortable retirement for employees at 2 times NZ Super and the option to retire from age 65 even if the age of eligibility for NZ Super moves out. Don t require those on low, benefit like incomes to make contributions to KiwiSaver (bottom 2 deciles). 1. How we will provide retirement incomes in Move default investors from conservative portfolios to portfolios with more growth assets offsetting the risk with capital guarantees for those either close to purchasing a first home or to retirement. the next 20 years so if you are already annual tax credit to level the tax playing field with rental property investment. retired or soon will be, it is not about you. Remove the tax bias against retirement savings by lowering the PIE marginal tax rates, funded by removing the KiwiSaver $521 Reduce minimum starting contribution for KiwiSaver to say 1% in year one split between you and your employer. Phase in an annual 1% increase split between employee and employer to lift in contributions until the target rate to fund a comfortable 2. retirement Relitigating is reached about 7%. the debate about National Savings. In the future see investment management fees reduced as account balances grow, FUM increases to allow economies of scale and when competition increases. Require a proportion of your KiwiSaver balance at retirement to be used to buy a second pension to the value of NZ Super so you retire on 2 x NZ Super with the balance of your KiwiSaver account available as a lump sum. Include insurance to top up KiwiSaver balances at retirement to purchase a second pension if even with say 30 years of contributions you don t quite get to the balance required to purchase the second pension equivalent to NZ Super. Possibly bundle a base level of life and income protection insurance into KiwiSaver to better meet hardship situations (this will require a additional 1% in contributions). Allow the option of self managed KiwiSaver but without the top up insurance. 18

Regular How days of automatic we enrolment, will say provide every 3 years from 2015 retirement incomes in Phase out the tax next bias against retirement 20 years savings as Governments so if achieve you surpluses. are already retired or soon will be, it is not about you. Possibly allow KiwiSaver balances to be used to fund a deposit on either a business or tertiary education or a home deposit as is currently provided for. 2. Relitigating the debate about National Savings. Make it a requirement to step up KiwiSaver contribution rates each year until they reach the rate required to fund a comfortable retirement in order to keep earning the KiwiSaver incentives. Currently this rate is 10% over 40 years in the absence of tax reforms to level the playing field for retirement savings in KiwiSaver and investments in rental property. Possibly allow KiwiSavers the option to insure for a capital guarantee on their KiwiSaver account balances (estimated to cost less than 1% in additional contributions). Allow self management of KiwiSaver investments. This would only work if you did not take up the option of capital guarantee.
20 20 Would capital guarantees make a difference?
