I've been in Africa for a few years now, and im now a resident ,due to haveing a nz drivers and fire arms licence , I also have a few belongings in nz , a rifle and shotgun ,technically I can be taxed on my off shore income (yet I only travel to nz to go bush ,)

that sounds very weird.

from the IRD website:
Non-residents are only liable for New Zealand tax on income from New Zealand sources. For tax purposes you are a non-resident if you are away from New Zealand for more than 325 days in any 12-month period, and do not have an enduring relationship with New Zealand.


i'm sure if you speak to an accountant you could get that sorted out pretty quick.
