We recognise that joining up this work and the steps that follow will be critical and we are particularly interested in hearing your views and working with the teachers and leaders.

A prototype, led by the Ministry of Health, will be launched across the MidCentral District Health Board region later this year, covering Palmerston North and the Horowhenua, Manawatū, Ōtaki and Tararua districts. The aim is to ensure disabled people and their whānau have more options and decision making authority about their lives and support. This includes children and young people with disabilities, their families and whānau. The prototype involves improving connections across government, streamlining funding and making the system more welcoming and responsive to individual needs. We have been working on how we as a ministry can support the prototype, and how they might join up with work currently underway to strengthen the provision of learning support. Read more about the project. Inland Revenue – GST and tax credits Inland Revenue has reissued its Public Ruling on GST in schools, and has issued new advice and guidance for parents and schools about donation tax credits. BR Pub 18/06: Goods and services tax – payments made by parents to state and state integrated schools explains that GST is not chargeable on payments made by parents to the board of trustees of a state or state integrated school where the payments are made to assist the school with the cost of delivering education services which the student has a statutory entitlement to receive free of charge. GST is chargeable on payments made for supplies of other goods or services that are not integral to the supply of education to which the student has a statutory entitlement, where that supply is conditional on the payment being made. This Ruling is a reissue of BR Pub 14/06 which expired on 20 June 2018. It is substantially the same as BR Pub 14/06 but some parts have been rewritten to improve readability, and legislative changes have been included. A new example (Example 5) has been added. The Ruling refers to Circular 2018/01 Payments by parents of students in schools (Ministry of Education, 2018). QB 18/10: Income tax – state schools and donation tax credits and QB 18/11: Income tax – state- integrated schools and donation tax credits explain when a parent’s payment to a school will be a gift, so that the school can issue a donation tax receipt to the parent. A payment will be a gift when it is voluntary, does good for the school, and the parent obtains no material benefit or advantage in return for making the payment. The guidance refers to Circular 2018/01 Payments by parents of students in schools (Ministry of Education, 2018).

Our ESOL team has created new digital forms, which replace the paper status list previously sent by post, and the application forms for new students. If you have previously applied for funding, the new application forms are in an excel spreadsheet and will be emailed to your school, along with instructions. The new forms will save time, as you will no longer need to print, fill in details by hand, and scan to return.

  • New Zealand Retail Guide
    Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide New Zealand lies in the southwestern Pacific Ocean some 1,500km (900 miles) from Australia, and comprises North and South Islands, plus many smaller islands. It is a small market of some 4.8 million New Zealanders (informally known as Kiwis). Over three-quarters of the population live in the North Island, with one-third of the total population living in Auckland. The other main cities are Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton. Some 3.7 million people visited New Zealand in 2017, predominantly from Australia (1.47 million), followed by from China with 418,000 visitors. 2017 saw strong growth in visitor numbers from the USA (330,000) and the UK (249,000). Tourists spent some NZ$ 10.4billion in 2017. The New Zealand economy has been amongst the western world’s best performing post the global financial crisis. Further strong growth is anticipated over the course of the next two years (approx. 3.0% p.a.). The economy has been driven by record levels of population growth, the result of high levels of net migration, the construction sector and a booming tourism sector. The agricultural sector, long the backbone of New Zealand’s economy continues to perform well with export values forecast to increase further in the short term. In line with global trends, inflation has been slow to return to the New Zealand economy. As a result the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has been able to hold interest rates at historically low levels which has supported economic expansion and seen the national unemployment rate drop to 4.3% NEW ZEALAND The rapidly expanding population, strongly performing economy and significant increases in residential property values have seen lifts in consumer confidence which has led to increases in retail OVERVIEW spending nationally.

  • Hoyts Corporation Holdings Berkeley
    PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE ACT 1986: BUSINESS ACQUISITION SECTION 66: NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE 15 March 2010 The Registrar Business Acquisitions and Authorisations Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 WELLINGTON Pursuant to s66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986 notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. 2113205 v1 PUBLIC VERSION 2 1. SUMMARY OF APPLICATION 1.1 Hoyts Corporation Holdings (NZ) Limited, is considering the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the Berkeley film exhibition business assets [ ]. 1.2 Hoyts Cinemas (NZ) Limited and the Berkeley Group are both in the business of exhibiting films to the public. 1.3 The proposed Acquisition will not result in a substantial lessening of competition in any market for the following reasons: (a) The market has a large number of existing competitors, in the total cinema market in New Zealand there are at least 80 participants. AHL/SkyCity is the largest participant with approximately [ ]% New Zealand-wide and [ ]% Auckland-wide. The merged entity will face vigorous competition from its existing competitors. In particular, AHL is expected to be even more vigorous and exert even more competitive constraint than SkyCity Cinemas did in the past. (b) Barriers to entry and expansion by either existing or new operators are low where expansion opportunities are created by substandard product offerings. In essence, a cinema is a commodity; it is a room in a convenient location with a screen. There is no material brand loyalty. The New Zealand market has seen recent examples of local entry and expansion. (c) Consumers are highly price sensitive and discerning as to the quality of the product offering, and so switch readily between cinema operators.
