IR3NR Question 8 New Zealand Superannuation (NZ Super)

If you received standard NZ Super during the year, you must include it in your return. Work and Income deducts tax from payments to you. Copy the details from your summary of income (SOI) to Question 13 of your return. For more information about the summary of income (SOI) see IR3NR Question 13 New Zealand income with tax deducted.

NZ Super paid to you as a resident of another country is known as “portable New Zealand Superannuation”. Work and Income doesn’t deduct tax from payments of portable superannuation when it’s paid to you, and you don’t have to include it in your return.
