National Plan 2005-2006 Financial Position
Financial statements reporting the cost of National Plan administration and operations are included on page 15 of this report.
The operating surplus of $63,921 for the 2005-2006 financial year was in line with the ‘break even over time’ policy set by government. Revenue from the Protection of the Sea Levy provided the main source of funding for National Plan operations. The Protection of the Sea Levy remained at 3.3 cents per net registered tonne.
Total income received during the 2005-2006 financial year increased by $357,900 compared with the previous financial year. Levy revenue increased during the reporting period due to a continued rise in shipping activity.
National Plan expenditure increased by four percent from 2004-2005 with total expenses of $4,040,140.
