Changes we’re proposing for all vehicle owners
If you own a motor vehicle for use on a public road, we’re proposing changes that will impact the levy you pay.Use the links to click through to each of the proposals. Here you can have your say and give feedback.
Every three years everyone in Aotearoa New Zealand has the chance to give feedback on the levies that ACC charges to pay for the support and services we provide for injured people.
Levy consultation is split into two parts.
We consult on proposed changes to levy rates and to the levy system. These include changes to incentives or how levy payers are grouped together.
Proposed increases to levy rates
ACC is proposing the following changes to average levy rates that will impact vehicle owners.
| Motor Vehicle Account | Current (2024/25) | 2025/26 | 2026/27 | 2026/27 |
| Levy per vehicle | $113.94 | $122.84 | $131.94 | $141.69 |
| Year on year change | +7.8% | +7.4% | +7.4% |
Levy rates need to keep pace with rising costs and at the same time ensure that the amount of money held by ACC is sufficient to pay for the future costs of claims. This ensures we do not need to raise more money from future levy payers to pay for the cost of today’s claims.
