This determination, which is deemed to have come into force on 1 November 2018, sets a new rate for the salary of the Governor-General. The determination is made under the Governor-General Act 2010, which provides for the Governor-General’s salary to be determined from time to time by the Remuneration Authority. The Governor-General’s salary is not exempt from income tax and has been set on this basis.
In this determination, the Authority has adjusted the annual salary by 1.4%, in line with the annual wage inflation (salary and wage rates, including overtime) figure for the public sector, as published in Statistics New Zealand’s Labour Market Statistics for the June 2018 quarter.
The determination replaces the Governor-General (Salary) Determination 2017, which expired on 31 October 2018. The making of the determination was delayed beyond the expiry of the previous determination in order to allow the Remuneration Authority to carry out preparatory work on the determination.
Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
