Hey @campbed262966
There’s no need for an employer to withhold from payments of salary or wages where the employment services are performed overseas. This would generally be fall into the jurisdiction of Inland Revenue, due to the double tax agreement between Australia and New Zealand. Have a look at what working remotely means for your tax return.
