CW 40B: Te Urewera Board
or “Tax exemption for Te Urewera Board's expenses related to its official duties”
You could also call this:

“Tax exemption for Te Pou Tupua's income, with specific exceptions”

If you receive money as Te Pou Tupua, you don’t have to pay tax on it. Te Pou Tupua is defined in the Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims Settlement) Act 2017. This means the government lets Te Pou Tupua keep all the money it gets, without taking any as tax.

But there’s one exception to this rule. If you get money that’s described in section CH 11, which talks about Te Awa Tupua and Te Pou Tupua, you might have to pay tax on that money. This section explains when you might need to pay tax on money related to Te Awa Tupua and Te Pou Tupua.
