New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) In respect of each financial year the Minister, acting with the concurrence of the Minister of Finance, shall, after considering the forecast financial statements in the Council's statement of intent, and after consultations with the Council, assess the aggregate expenditure figure for that year, being the amount that, in the opinion of the Minister, would be reasonable for the Council to expend during that year in the performance of its functions.
(2) Having assessed the aggregate expenditure figure in respect of any financial year under subsection (1), the Minister shall determine the aggregate levy figure for that year, being an amount equal to the aggregate expenditure figure less the amount that, in the Minister's opinion, is likely to be received by the Council during the financial year by way of interest on money belonging to the Fund invested by the Council.
(3) Nothing in this section shall oblige the Council to expend in any financial year the whole of its income received in that year; instead, the Council may accumulate any part of its income in any financial year and expend it as it sees fit for any of its purposes in any subsequent financial year.
(4) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (2), where the Council carries forward any such amount to a subsequent financial year, the Minister may, in determining the aggregate levy figure for that year, take into account the whole or any part of that amount.
