Hi Everyone - Desperately need some help. I’m both a Taiwanese Citizen (non-tax resident) and New Zealand Citizen (tax-resident) looking to work remotely for a NZ company in Taiwan for an extended period of time (less than 183 days).

I’m pretty sure that’s from me (or at least via me — the recipient sent it to me privately). [image] cluckin_bell: Prove it. I presume you have something in writing? There was another thread discussing this too, within the last year I think, but I can’t find it from my phone. I think there w…
