It defines 'services' to include capital works, recurrent services and debt repayment, records intended totals for expenses and capital, and treats certain payments made during the appropriation year but before assent as expended if authorised under the Government Sector Finance Act 2018 s4.10. Who pays: the Consolidated Fund; who decides: this Act; why it matters: it secures parliamentary funding and clarifies pre‑assent payment treatment.
