Default Tax and bank accounts
Not sure about the pension/tax query sorry.... :icon_redface:

But with regards to a UK bank account, yes you can keep a UK bank account open (providing your bank are happy for you to do this, and you give them your NZ address!).
I also still have my UK Visa credit card (they accept Visa in NZ :icon_wink: ) - they are usually happy for you to run your account from abroad. The only problem I am encountering with it is paying it!! - whenever I have a payment to make, I have to transfer money from our NZ account to my UK bank account in order to pay the credit card in GBP, as they don't accept NZ dollars!!
