Mills v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 172
- Court
- District Court
The filed 2005 tax return showing income of NZD 120,557 was properly treated as earnings for the purposes of assessing weekly compensation because the appellant failed to prove the income was not derived from his personal exertion; evidence showed he submitted tenders, engaged subcontractors and provided the business reputation and oversight that generated profit, so the respondent's overpayment calculation and denial of remission were correct.
