If you are a New Zealand tax resident, you are required to declare all your worldwide income and pay tax on it. So the answer is yes. If you are not a New Zealand tax resident, the answer is no. You are a New Zealand tax resident if you have spent more than half the year in New Zealand or if you have an "enduring relationship" with New Zealand.
