新西兰扩展了KiwiSaver规则, 帮助农村工人买房, 即使他们不住在家里, New Zealand expands KiwiSaver rules to help rural workers buy homes, even if they don’t live in them.

新西兰正在修订其KiwiSaver计划,允许农村工人——例如农场工作人员、教师、警察和国防人员——在雇主提供的住房里,用他们的储蓄首次购买住房,而不必住在其中。 New Zealand is amending its KiwiSaver scheme to allow rural workers—such as farm staff, teachers, police, and defence personnel—in employer-provided housing to use their savings for a first home purchase without needing to live in it. 由议员Suze Redmayne(Suze Redmayne)提出并得到财政部长Nicola Willis(Nicola Willis)等支持的议员法案引发的这一变化,也允许首次购买农场的买主在通过他们控制的公司或信托购买土地时使用KiwiSave基金,只要这是他们的主要住所。 The change, stemming from a Member’s Bill by MP Suze Redmayne and supported by Finance Minister Nicola Willis and others, also permits first-time farm buyers to use KiwiSaver funds when purchasing land through a company or trust they control, as long as it will be their principal residence. 改革旨在解决农村拥有住房机会长期不平等的问题,并反映现代农场所有权做法。 The reforms aim to address longstanding inequities in rural homeownership access and reflect modern farm ownership practices. 立法定于2026年晚些时候向议会提出。 Legislation is set to be introduced to Parliament later in 2026.
