Withdrawals are taxed, not profits. See the link in the preamble. Understanding the withdrawals instead to be an allocation of principal between the account's two owners allows for, and explains why, everyone gets a benefit from permanently sheltering profits from tax. Obviously they could not get

KiwiSaver isn't a tax deferred arrangement (it has no tax offset or effect on your net income). The statement in paragraph two of Other Countries implies that KiwiSaver is an equivalent scheme to a 401(k) (noting that the UK and Australia do have similar, albeit not identical, schemes). Happy to
