ACC Board’s levy recommendations for 2012/13 to the Minister for ACC

Under the Accident Compensation Act 2001, the ACC Board (the “Board”) has now recommended levy rates for the 2012/13 year to the Minister for ACC. In recommending these levy rates, the Board has considered submissions received as part of the public consultation process, which took place between 19 July and 16 August 2011. The Board’s recommended levy rates for 2012/13 are the same as those consulted on.

The ACC Board’s recommendations are not binding on the Minister, who obtains further advice before making recommendations to Cabinet. The Minister will announce the rates once they are decided.
