Nicholas v Accident Compensation Corporation

- [2008] NZACC 110
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation correctly calculated weekly compensation using the $60,000 income returned to the IRD because Schedule 1 Clause 31 requires the tax return to be taken into account when it is not influenced by incapacity; subsection(3) of section 15 only applies where the subsection(2) tax-return amount is not a reasonable representation or following an amended tax return, and the appellant may obtain reassessment only by filing an amended return.
