What is the difference between and Investor and a Client?

An Investor is the entity (Youth, Individual, Joint, Trust or NZ Company) that has an account with InvestNow – it is the beneficial owner, in whose name that the investments are held.

A client (also known as a Member) is an individual, or individuals, that have access to the Investor account i.e. they are “linked” to the account. Clients can be either authorisers of transactions or simply have view-only permissions.

What is Resident Withholding Tax (RWT)?

Resident Withholding Tax (RWT) is a tax deducted from the gross amount of interest, for the relevant investment and saving products, paid to you.

When you open an InvestNow account, you will be asked to confirm your RWT rate and IRD number.

If we do not have an IRD number your account will be taxed at the “non-declaration” rate of 33%.

See the IRD website for more details.
