CW 55: Maori authority distributions

You could also call this:

“How Māori authority payments to members are taxed”

When a Maori authority gives out money or other things to its members, it’s called a distribution. Some of this distribution might be counted as income under [section CV 11]. If it’s not counted as income under that section, then you don’t have to pay tax on it. This means that part of the distribution is exempt income, which is money you don’t need to pay tax on.
