Business essentials
Your ACC levy invoice explained
If you're self-employed or a shareholder employee, you'll usually receive your ACC levy invoice in September.
Not sure how your levy has been worked out? Our online guides explain your invoice, including what you're paying for and how your levy is calculated.
Good to know
Pay your levy by the due date to avoid extra charges
If you pay your levy invoice after the due date, you'll be charged late payment interest from the day after your payment is due. Can't pay by the due date? Contact us as soon as possible to talk through your payment options: 0800 222 776 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) or business@acc.co.nz.

Five ways to look after your wellbeing
Stress and fatigue can affect your judgement, reactions, and safety at work. Cambridge dairy farmer Marc Gascoigne shares how looking after his wellbeing helps him stay well and work safely.
His approach reflects Farmstrong's Five Ways to Wellbeing: connect, give, take notice, keep learning and be active. They're simple things you can make part of everyday life to help look after yourself and the people around you.
Ride Forever courses are free until the end of December
September is Motorcycle Awareness Month, a good reminder for riders to check their bike, gear and skills after winter. It's also a chance to refresh skills and make sure everything is road-ready.
To help riders get back on the road safely, Ride Forever courses are free until 31 December 2026. Riders can build confidence, improve their skills, and stay safer on the road at no cost.
