5.1A (Cont.): Annual Appropriations ('Recoverable GST exclusive')

Annual Appropriation for 2018

Notes:

1. No amounts of appropriation were withheld under Section 51 of the PGPA Act.

2. Departmental ordinary annual services: The variance results from the drawing down of prior year

and a reduction in the appropriation receivable.

Departmental capital budget: The variance results from undrawn current year appropriations.

Departmental equity injections: The variance results from undrawn current year appropriations.

Administered items: The variance results from the drawing down of prior year appropriations.

Administered capital budget: The variance results from undrawn current year appropriations due to timing of payments to suppliers.

3. Departmental and Administered Capital Budgets are appropriated through Appropriation Acts

(No.1,3,5). They form part of ordinary annual services and are not separately identified in the

Appropriation Acts.

4. The above table reflects the original 2017-18 appropriation amounts. During 2016-17, the Finance

Minister had approved the transfer of $868,000 from ordinary annual services to capital with this

amount made available to the NCA in 2017-18. Separately, in 2016-17, the Finance Minister had

approved a reduction in the ordinary annual services appropriation of $4,000 for the whole of

government Govlink contract amendment. This variation was not applied until July 2018.

As neither of these variations were effected by the Appropriation Acts during 2017-18 they

are not reflected in the above table.
