Remote work in New Zealand for 6 months
Hello, I am going to New Zealand to travel for a year, however half of that year I will be working remotely for my UK employer(6 months) . I have been working for the same employer for the past 3.5 years. The timeline is: September & October 2025 in NZ, not working November 2025 - April 2026 in NZ, working remotely May 2026 - August 2026 not working, back in the UK on the 1st of September to start work again. I am assuming I will fall under the Double Tax Agreement as I will become a tax resident while I’m in New Zealand, however I’m unsure if the UK will still be the country I pay my taxes to for that 6 month period? What do I need to do regarding my taxes? Thank you in advance!
