CV 5: Statutory producer boards
or “Rules for statutory producer boards on handling levies as income”
You could also call this:

“Money received by Crown Research Institutes for certain activities counts as income”

If you’re a Crown Research Institute, you need to know that some money you get counts as income. This includes money given to you for doing certain activities or for making things that are good for the public.

The activities that count are listed in section 7 of the Research, Science, and Technology Act 2010. Money you get for doing these activities is income.

You also get income if you’re given money to make things that are called “public good science and technology”. This means science or technology that:

  1. Helps us learn more about our world, including nature and how people live together.
  2. Helps New Zealand keep or get better at important science and technology skills.
  3. Could be good for New Zealand, but probably wouldn’t get enough money from places that aren’t the government.

So, if you’re a Crown Research Institute and you get money for these kinds of activities or outputs, that money is counted as your income.
