Tax relief forms are required by some overseas tax authorities. You might need to complete one of these forms if you're a tax resident of New Zealand whose income from overseas is incorrectly taxed overseas.

You'll need to complete the tax relief form and have us certify it to confirm your tax residency status.

We can only certify tax relief forms if there is a double tax agreement between the overseas jurisdiction and New Zealand. If an agreement is not in place, we will supply a certificate of residency.

You'll find the DTAs currently in force on our Tax Policy website.
