3.1. This net appropriation agreement records the extent to which the amount specified in items in an annual appropriation Act may be taken to be increased by reference to eligible receipts of the agency.

Note 1: In most cases an item in the annual appropriation Act will be taken to be increased by the whole amount received by the agency. However, in some cases, the item in the annual appropriation Act will only be taken to be increased by a proportion of the whole amount received by the agency - see clause 6.1.

Note 2: Where a receipt relates to more than one appropriation item in an annual appropriation Act, each relevant item will generally be increased by the portion of the whole amount that applies to the particular item – see clause 6.2.

Note 1: Any future net appropriation agreement for the agency should be drafted to cover all appropriation items (including all administered items) for which the agency requires a net appropriation agreement.
