ACC residual claim levies
This payment covers the cost of residual claims from previous years to 31 March 2007 at the rate of $0.27 (GST exclusive) per $100 of gross liable earnings.
ACC payment 1 April 2007 - 31 March 2008
The second component of the ACC payment is the premium to cover the period 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008. Payment is due on 8 August 2007 and the premium rate is $0.18 (GST exclusive) per $100 of gross liable earnings.
The ACC invoice is based on the gross taxable earnings for the tax year 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 and adjusted by adding 2.71% as a Labour Cost Index to cover any salary or wage increases in the period.
Wash-up adjustment on previous rates
Due to the wash-up of the levies paid in July 2006 there is a debit adjustment of $0.01 (GST exclusive) per $100 of gross liable earnings. This covers the difference between the actual gross taxable earnings for the tax year 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 and what was predicted by ACC for the levies paid in 2006. The composite rate for the year is therefore $0.27 plus $0.18 plus $0.01 = $0.46 (GST exclusive).
Payment reminder
Please ensure there are sufficient funds in your bank account on the night of 8 August 2007 to cover the cost of the direct debit. You will receive advice about the amount to be deducted with your staff usage and expenditure report for pay period 1609, payday 1 August 2007.
