What makes Cash PIE different from other call accounts?

When you earn interest from a PIE, the tax you pay is based on your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) - a special tax rate just for PIE accounts. You will pay less tax than with a regular savings or investment account if your Income Tax rate is 30%, 33% or 39%.
Lower tax on earnings You could pay less tax on the interest you earn, thanks to the maximum PIE tax rate (PIR) of 28%
Keep more of your earnings Because of the lower tax rate, you can end up with more money in your pocket compared to a standard account
No impact on your tax bracket PIE income doesn’t get added to your personal income, so it won’t push you into a higher tax bracket

A PIE, standing for portfolio investment entity, is an entity which invests the contributions from its investors in different types of passive investment. Heartland’s PIE fund invests exclusively in Heartland Bank deposits, ranking equally with all other deposits.
A PIR, standing for prescribed investor rate, is the tax rate that your portfolio investment entity (PIE) uses to calculate the tax on the income from the investment of your contributions.
Your PIR is based on your taxable income, such as salary, wages and any other sources of income you would include in your income tax return. Use the PIR tool on the IRD website to determine yours. For more information, see the PIR page on the IRD website.
