Down to somebody

[bagzi94]

That's what I want.
But it's not down to me, is it?

What's the meaning?

It means "It's not my responsibility" or "It isn't/wasn't my fault" (depending on context).

Depending on context, could it also mean 'it is not for me to decide'?

It could, yes. I would have included that in "It's not my responsibilty [to do whatever the subject of the conversation is, whether it's a decision or something else]".

That would lead to "That's not down to me to decide, is it?"

Thanks, ems. I thought it was implied in "it's not my responsibility" but I needed reassurance.
