ACC Updates
CoverPlus Extra
From 1 April 2025, changes to regulations have altered how the Working Safer levy is calculated for CoverPlus Extra policyholders. Instead of basing it on earnings reported to Inland Revenue, the levy will now be calculated using the level of cover selected under CoverPlus Extra.
This update means all levies (including the Working Safer levy) will be calculated using the agreed cover amount and sent together in a single invoice.
During the transition, things may look a bit different for the 2025 year. But from April 2026 onward, policyholders can expect to receive just one annual invoice.
Business Levy Updates
Several changes are being introduced that could affect how your ACC invoice is calculated.
Effective from 1 April 2025, here are some of the key updates:
- An increase in the average levy rate
- Updates to the minimum and maximum levels of liable earnings
- New levy classifications for businesses in the sports sector or those running home improvement stores
- From 2026, interest will apply to all instalment plans
- Businesses not part of the Experience Rating programme will no longer contribute toward those that are
- The No Claims Discount will be phased out in 2026
