Other revenue: other revenue includes out-of-hours charges and recoveries where buildings have been subleased. Other revenue is offset against operating expenses. Operating costs – labour: includes all employee remuneration and related employment costs. Operating costs – other: includes all operating costs excluding labour and depreciation. Service enhancements: includes the operating costs associated with the enhanced services and business transformation, as outlined in Part A, Section 1 and Section 2. Depreciation: Airways calculates fixed asset depreciation on a straight-line basis. Depreciation will increase with any increase in the capital programme. Under EVA, amortisation is also recognised for significant leases. Significant leases include the Christchurch campus and Auckland centre. Income tax: income tax is calculated at New Zealand’s company tax rate of 28%. Cost of capital: the cost of capital is calculated as the capital charge rate multiplied by the ‘historical cost’ asset base, adjusted for depreciation. Airways does not revalue its assets for pricing purposes.
