Explanatory note

This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order brings into force, on 4 June 1999, section 41 of the Housing Restructuring Act 1992.

Section 41 of the Act inserts the item “Housing New Zealand” in the appropriate alphabetical order in Part 2 of Schedule 1 of the Ombudsmen Act 1975, Schedule 14 of the Income Tax Act 1976 and Schedule 1 of the Official Information Act 1982. It also adds the words “, or Housing New Zealand Limited” to the definition of Crown agency, in section 2(1) of the Public Finance Act 1989.

The Income Tax Act 1994 replaced the Income Tax Act 1976 after the enactment of section 41 of the Housing Restructuring Act 1992. Sections YB 2(1)(b) and (2)(e) of the Income Tax Act 1994 treat the reference to Schedule 14 of the Income Tax Act 1976 as a reference to Schedule 18 of the Income Tax Act 1994.

Section 3 of the Public Finance Amendment Act 1992 repealed the definition of Crown agency and added the definition of Crown entity in section 2(1) of the Public Finance Act 1989. The definition of Crown entity expressly includes Housing New Zealand Limited.
