We're here to support you. If you're unsure if you can pay your ACC levy, please let us know before your invoice is due to avoid any penalty interest.
How you get Workplace Cover
You're automatically covered under Workplace Cover when you take on staff and become an employer. This is paid for from your Work levy.
What Workplace Cover gives you
With Workplace Cover, you'll get:
- subsidised medical care for your staff’s work related injuries
- up to 80% of your employee’s salary covered while they can't work
- injury prevention schemes.

Paying for Workplace Cover
You’ll receive an invoice from us every year based on your liable payroll filed with Inland Revenue. This invoice includes both your final levy and a provisional levy.
Calculating how much you need to pay
Inland Revenue provides us with a summary of your payroll information. We use this combined with your CU (what work you do and the industry you’re in) to calculate your levy. For many businesses we also take into account your claims history. Find out how to calculate your levy.:
