The Commerce Commission (“Commission”) is advising all telecommunications service providers that they will need to check whether they are required to provide information under section 82 of the Telecommunications Act 2001 (“the Act”) to support identifying liable persons who will pay a portion of the 2012/13 Telecommunications Development Levy.

Importantly, the $10 million threshold can be met through revenue from a combination of liable persons where there is significant shareholding between two or more parties.

Further information explaining the obligation, who it applies to and what information needs to be disclosed is available on the Commission’s website at
