That sentence, in plain words

The bar covers money from past years and from 2026. It also covers money from 2027, up to March 25, 2027.

What this is about

A budget year runs from October to September. Money left over from an old year can still be spent. The bar reaches that money too.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
