    After a certain amount of time, and depending on income in some cases. See here. https://www.newzealandnow.govt.nz/li...ial-assistance

    if not wrong once you start claiming like child care benefits, you no longer enjoy the waiver of 4 year free taxation for new migrant. (Large amount of money transfer will be taxable kind...).... so do your sum....correctly....check out the web site..for IRD..

    Nothing much to do with the OPs question, but what an interesting website Just on this one page, I find at least two statements questionable: there is certainly poverty here (maybe the authors haven't been to Glen Innes or Point England or anywhere in the more deprived areas South Auckland?), and the other thing is factually incorrect: New Zealand was not the first country to introduce old age pension.

    As for the benefits questions, we were told different things by different people at the IRD: some said we had to be here for two years before claiming working family tax credit, others didn't think so. In the end, it didn't matter for us as my partner is a New Zealander, and apparently those conditions don't apply then.
