The IRD are not very clear on who can claim 'working for families tax credits'. Their website states that:
"You must meet at least one of the following residency requirements:
You are both a New Zealand resident and a New Zealand tax resident and have been in New Zealand continuously for at least 12 months at any time.
You are caring for a child who is both present and resident in New Zealand. "
I suppose this means that as long as the child you are claiming for has residency you can claim.
