RB 1: Payment of terminal tax
or “When you need to pay your final tax bill for the year”

You could also call this:

“Former tax rules for non-residents earning passive income from NZ”

This section of the law is about taxes for people who don’t live in New Zealand but earn money from New Zealand sources without having to do anything. It used to explain how much tax these people had to pay. However, this part of the law was removed on 30 March 2017, so it no longer applies. If you want to know more about taxes for people who don’t live in New Zealand, you might need to look at other parts of the tax laws.
