Child members (aged under 16 as at 31 December 2011) need to have $50 deposited into their account in the 2011 calendar year to get full matched savings*. Elective members (aged 65 or older as at 31 December 2011) are eligible to receive Kaumātua Grants rather than Whai Rawa matched savings. * Te Rūnanga matched savings include Retirement Scheme Contribution Tax deducted at your own RSCT rate

We need your tax rates now to ensure you get your full entitlements Matched savings payments to member accounts will be made by Te Rūnanga at the end of March. Make sure you get the full amount you are entitled; tax rates changed at 1 October 2010 check and update your tax rates now by logging on to the secure site (you will need your Whai Rawa number and four digit pin). You can also calculate your rates on the website and email or phone them through to us.

Unallocated payments - remember to include WR number with every payment! We currently have over $7000 in member payments that have no member Whai Rawa number or other reference and have not been allocated to any account. You can check your account online to make sure payments have been created to your account or call or email us.

Remember: if you don’t supply your rates and an IRD number* you will be taxed at the maximum rates. * Non-residents only need to supply an IRD number

Newborn Incentive A new initiative by Whai Rawa for 2011 is the Newborn Distribution. To receive the $60 contribution, members must complete the enrolment process with Whai Rawa in the 2011 calendar year and before they turn one year of age. Payment will be made as part of the March 2012 distribution round along with other payments relating to the 2011 calendar year. Contact us now to ensure your pēpi does not miss out. NB: The $60 payment is inclusive of RSCT and the actual amount paid to the member account will depend on whether an IRD number has been received before the payment is due to be made and will also depend on an RSCT rate having been declared. This includes tamariki living overseas.

If you aren’t sure how to calculate your rates get in contact with us now. Set and forget Well done everyone who set up automatic payments late last year. For those who haven’t done it, ‘setting and forgetting’ is the easiest way to save. 65% of those who are saving into their Whai Rawa account are utilising the electronic automatic payment option. For an AP form and for more information on depositing money into Whai Rawa including information about the new Australian Whai Rawa account go to www.whairawa. com and click on Deposit Funds or call us.
