About this guide

This guide explains New Zealand tax obligations for tax residents who receive social security pensions from overseas.

Key points

Overseas social security pensions will usually need to be included in a New Zealand income tax return. A double tax agreement may change the treatment, and a credit may be available for foreign tax paid.
