In what way is the Governor's contract of appointment relevant?

We understand the Governor's contract of appointment states that the salary for his appointment will be tax-free. We will examine his contract carefully.

If the Queen pays income tax now, why shouldn't the Governor follow suit?

Premature to comment on this. We will examine carefully whether the Queen's tax position has any relevance to that of the Governor.
