Im an Australian citizen, but was working in New Zealand for 3 months of this financial year ( 2019 Dec-2020 Feb). I had PAYE/tax taken from my payslips in New Zealand, will I get double taxed when I lodge my NZL tax return ( financial year ends March 31) and my Aus tax return in October 31? Thank you. If you have a link that shows the information that'd be appreciated. I can't seem to find a clear answer that I understand on the ATO website.
Thank you.

You will be taxed at the rate for your tax resident country (Australia, from what you have described).
When calculating the tax to pay/refund in AU, the ATO will include income and tax pains in NZ.

myTax steps you through all this. It's relatively simple these days.
You shouldn’t get double taxed. I’d be surprised if Australia and nz don’t provide relief for double taxation with each other.
You declare it on your return, and pay tax as normal, but get relief for what you paid overseas. No one would work overseas otherwise.
