Budget 2025 | The Government has introduced changes to Working for Families and KiwiSaver as well as introducing Investment Boost: an immediate tax deduction when acquiring new business assets. Find out more: www.budget.govt.nz

Fees Free for tertiary learners now covers fees for the final year of study or training. You can only get Fees Free if you are starting study or training for the 1st time.

You can claim (apply for) Fees Free from early 2026, after you have completed your study or training. You cannot claim before 2026.

We will start managing Fees Free in late 2025. Until then, all the information you need is on the Tertiary Education Commission’s Fees Free website.

We will update our website later in 2025.
