A search is performed for a pseudoscalar Higgs boson, $\mathrm{A}$, decaying into a standard model-like Higgs boson $\mathrm{h}$ and a $\mathrm{Z}$ boson. The standard model-like Higgs boson is specifically targeted in its decay into a pair of tau leptons, while the $\mathrm{Z}$ boson decays leptonically. A data sample of proton-proton collisions collected at \sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV} by the CMS experiment at the LHC is used, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}. In the absence of observing the signal, model-independent and model-dependent limits are set. The model-dependent limits are set in two minimal supersymmetric standard model benchmark scenarios in the $m_{\mathrm{A}}$-$\tan\beta$ plane.
