Overseas employer, NZ tax resident
Hi everyone, please can I ask for any advice based on experience or expertise. I am a NZ citizen who lived in London UK for 18 years until end of 2024. I then came to NZ temporarily and continued working for my UK employer remotely - it was supposed to be temporary (8 weeks) but, the remote employment has continued on. I've also ended up living in NZ longer than planned - 11 months in total since December 2024 (I was also back in UK for 5 months in 2025). I have been paying full tax in UK and did not realise I am classed as a NZ resident (as I bought an apartment here) and eligible to pay tax in NZ. I'm going to seek professional advice and do a tax return to IRD but I'm really hoping (with the Double Tax Agreement) I won't have to pay additional tax for the previous 11 months in NZ. Any advice much appreciated.
