• a levy to pay injury claims prior to 1999

• increasing the combined levy rate for self-employed to an average of $3.57 per $100.00 of earnings by:
  • increasing the levy rate on cover for 2006/2007 work claims from $1.82 to $2.06

ACC proposes:

Motorists

Motorists pay for all injuries involving motor vehicles on public roads, through a combination of:
