Commodity Levies (Pipfruit) Order 2000

Pipfruit growers and collection agents are advised that the levy rate for the 1 November 2002 to 31 October 2003 season has been set at 1.0 cent per kilogram of pipfruit (plus G.S.T.). This is the same rate as for the previous year.

A “grower” means the occupier of land that is used for growing trees for the production of pipfruit, from which there was harvested at least 1000 kilograms of pipfruit during the year ending with the previous 31st day of October.

Growers are responsible overall for ensuring that levies are deducted from sale payments and that the correct amounts are submitted to Pipfruit Growers New Zealand Incorporated (PGNZI).

A “collection agent” means a person or organisation whose business is or includes buying pipfruit from a grower for resale or export, or sells or exports on behalf of a grower.

A collection agent is required to deduct the levy from payments due to growers and to forward these amounts to PGNZI within 90 days of sale or export.

Growers and collection agents requiring further information including commodity levy payment return forms, should contact the PGNZI office by telephone on (04) 499 7962 or by facsimile on (04) 499 7964 or email admin@pgnzi.co.nz
