Download Policy Statement on Cost Recovery

When undertaking cost recovery the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) will base its decisions on Government guidelines and high level principles as set out in the Treasury-produced ‘Guidelines for Setting Charges in the Public Sector’ and the Audit Office’s ‘Guidelines on Costing and Charging for Public Sector Goods and Services’. NZFSA takes into account constitutional principles as set out in Parliament’s Standing Orders and guidance received from reports of the Regulations Review Committee.
