2.24 Current and deferred income tax
The Inland Revenue Department approved the Trust as charitable for the purposes of the Income Tax Act 1994.
However some entities within the Group are taxable. In the instances where an entity is taxable, current tax is calculated by using
tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Accordingly no tax is payable by the
Trust. See note 30 for details of entities that have charitable status.
Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries except for
deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax in respect of property, plant and equipment had been assessed in 2014 on the basis of the asset value being realised
through sale. This has been reversed in 2015 (see note 7)
2.25 Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows are prepared exclusive of GST. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash

Investing activities are those activities relating to the acquisition and disposal of current and non-current investments and any
other non-current assets.
Financing activities are those activities relating to changes in the equity and debt capital structure of the Trust and Group and
those activities relating to the cost of servicing the Trust’s and Group’s equity capital.
2.26 Goods and services tax (GST)
The profit and loss component of the statement of comprehensive income has been prepared so that all components are stated
exclusive of GST. All items in the statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and
