Some Australian companies can choose to pass on credit for any New Zealand tax paid to their New Zealand shareholders.
If you're a shareholder in this situation, the notices you receive with the payment of each dividend show the credits. These credits will show on your dividend certificates as 'NZ imputation credits'.
