How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
GST is 8 hours behind NZST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: NZST observes DST; GST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when NZST changes its clocks.

New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland) transitions between NZST (UTC+12, winter) and NZDT (UTC+13, summer). NZDT is also represented as a separate record covering the daylight-time state specifically. Chatham Islands use separate offsets (UTC+12:45 / UTC+13:45) and are not included here.
GST · Gulf Time
Standard offset +04:00
Gulf Time remains on a constant standard offset for the year.
Gulf Standard Time does not observe DST.
