Other payments

When a client is receiving other payments, such as interest or rent from investments or properties they own in Denmark, the payments will be treated in the same way as income earned in New Zealand.

You need to convert the income to New Zealand dollars using the current exchange rate. This can be found by using the SELXT screen in SWIFTT and entering the Danish country code 042.

If you are unsure how the calculation works you should contact International Services
