ACC Cover Plus Extra invoices have been issued for the financial year April 2025 to March 2026. Most of Tourelle Life Brokers clients are on payment plans and currently do not pay any interest for plans spread over 3 months or 6 months.
We have encouraged paying on a payment plan, as the Cover Plus Extra policy remains in place from year to year and does not get cancelled due to non payment by the exact due date.
ACC are making changes:
For shareholders: from the 2026 levy year, if all shareholders have Cover Plus Extra for the full levy year, their business won’t receive a Workplace Cover for Shareholder invoice. This is great news, as Tourelle Life Brokers often have to check these invoices for clients to ensure they have been calculated correctly.
If you are on Cover Plus Extra, you will only receive ONE invoice for the year. Previously, you would receive your Cover Plus Extra invoice and another very small invoice for working safer levies, based on your actual income earned for the financial year. This is also great news!
Other changes that came into effect from 1 April 2025:
an increase in the average levy rate
minimum and maximum liable earnings level changes
a new levy classification for clients who operate in the sports sector or runs a home improvement store
interest charges will apply to all instalment plans (from 2026)
businesses outside Experience Rating will no longer subsidise those in the programme (from 2026)
the No Claims Discount ends (from 2026).

Interest charges will apply to all instalment plans (from 2026) – this is a concern. You can still stay on a payment plan paying additional interest charges or stay on a payment plan and pay the full levy by the due date with no interest charges.
