Barry Soper: ZB Political Editor on Govt's KiwiSaver tax U-turn

The Government has u-turned on a proposal to tax fees on KiwiSaver funds.

The proposal would have forced managed funds and KiwiSaver providers to pay a flat 15 per cent GST on fees.

Murray Harris, head of KiwiSaver at Milford Asset Management, said the government's change of stance was "sensible".

"Clearly this has engendered a lot of debate."

Newstalk ZB Political Editor Barry Soper joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels to discuss.
