26: Funding of Rulings Panel and remuneration of members

You could also call this:

“Paying for the Rulings Panel and its members”

The Authority is responsible for paying for the Rulings Panel. This means that the Authority provides the money needed for the Rulings Panel to operate. The Authority can get this money back from industry participants by charging them fees, as allowed by section 128.

The people who are part of the Rulings Panel get paid for their work. The Remuneration Authority decides how much they should be paid. This is done in the same way as if the Rulings Panel members were part of an independent Crown entity.

When Rulings Panel members travel or have other expenses because of their work, they can get their money back. This is done according to rules set out in the fees framework, which is explained in section 10(1) of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
