Your invoice pack: Self-employed

This page describes the information found in your invoice pack. There are two types of invoice packs for self-employed people, one for ACC CoverPlus and one for ACC CoverPlus Extra.

On this page

  1. ACC CoverPlus
  2. ACC CoverPlus Extra

ACC CoverPlus

You should receive your invoice pack from ACC within two months of filing your tax return. It includes a summary of account and a tax invoice. If you don't receive your invoice after two months contact the ACC Business Service Centre.

Summary of account

This summarises your current account balance. The total will include the invoice for the levies in your pack and any other payments you have yet to make for previous invoices.

Tax invoice

This invoice includes:

  • your ACC CoverPlus levy for the current levy year, based on your previous year’s liable earnings, split into:
  • The current portion of the Work Account levy – covering work related injuries
  • The current portion of the Earners’ levy – covering non-work injuries
  • your residual portion of levies for the previous levy year, based on your actual liable earnings for that year, split into:
  • The residual portion of the Work Account levy
  • The residual portion of the Earners’ levy
  • Health and Safety in Employment levy (collected on behalf of the Department of Labour).

ACC CoverPlus Extra

You will receive two invoices each year.

First invoice

You will receive an invoice for your ACC CoverPlus Extra policy. This will be sent out once we’ve received your acceptance form, usually between April and May, or on the date of your application if you apply during the levy year. This levy is split into:

  • The current portion of the Work levy – covering work related injuries
  • The current portion of the Earners’ levy - covering non-work injuries

Second invoice

You will receive a second invoice for your residual levies. This is based on your actual liable earnings, so it will be invoiced every year from August, once you’ve filed your IR3 or IR4 return (if you are a non-PAYE shareholder). This is split into:

  • The residual portion of the Work Account levy
  • The residual portion of the Earners’ levy
  • Health and Safety in Employment levy (collected on behalf of the Department of Labour).
