I am hoping someone could assist me. I worked abroad (Asia) on a contract for a few months and didn't have to pay taxes there as it was a short stint. However, I want to know regarding tax rules in New Zealand - am I obligated to pay local taxes here for work done abroad? How much is due (17% or less/more)? Any additional info I should know about?
I was fully employed in New Zealand until November 2012 and got my last paycheck on December 2012. I began working abroad in December 2012.
Thanks for your help.
