New Zealand Legislation: Acts

20 Departments may incur output expenses for, or on behalf of, other departments

• (1) This section applies if an output is supplied by a department (A) for, or on behalf of, another department (B) in accordance with an agreement between A and B.

  (2) Output expenses may be incurred by A, without further appropriation than this section, up to the amount of revenue earned from B.

  (3) However, A must return to B any revenue earned by the supply of the output that is not utilised toward the costs of the output.

  Parts 1 and 2 (sections 4 to 26A) were substituted by new Parts 1 and 2 (sections 4 to 26Z), as from 25 January 2005, by section 7 Public Finance Amendment Act 2004 (2004 No 113). See sections 32 to 36 of that Act as to the transitional provisions.
