New Zealand Case Law

Interpretation of 'ongoing daily care'
  • 4 Nov 2019

    P (CA85/2019) v COMMISSIONER OF INLAND REVENUE [2019] NZCA 531

    Citation
    [2019] NZCA 531
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The Commissioner lawfully amended the assessment because, having been notified the child would reside with the father for a continuous extended period (at least six months), she was required and entitled under ss86 and 87 to take action and amend assessments prospectively; 'ongoing daily care' is assessed with a prospective focus and the amendment did not exceed the statutory powers, so the appeal fails.
