  • Special tax rules mean you pay no more than 28% tax on interest income earned (usually you pay your regular income tax rate).

  • Choose from Notice Saver, PIE Term Deposit or PIE Online Call.

  • Available to almost everyone, including companies, trusts and organisations.

How it works

The maximum tax rate on interest income on all PIE investments is 28%, even if your regular tax rate is higher.

When you sign up for a PIE investment, make sure to select the correct Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR). If you choose a PIR that is too low, you may end up being taxed at your normal marginal tax rate. If you choose a PIR that is too high, you won't be able to get a refund of the additional tax. Use the calculator below to work out your correct PIR, and to help decide if a PIE product is right for you.
