Purpose and interpretation

AA 4: Crown bound

You could also call this:

“This law applies to the government”

This law applies to the Crown. The Crown is another name for the government. When a law binds the Crown, it means the government must follow the rules in that law too. This part of the law is saying that the government has to follow all the rules in the Income Tax Act 2007, just like everyone else.
