ACC has undergone some significant changes over the last few years, with successive governments changing the rules and creating havoc amongst employers and accountants alike. Much of the confusion has been related to the timing of invoices from ACC and the issuing of invoices separately for self-employed and employer levies.

It is compulsory for all self-employed and private domestic workers to have personal injury cover. ACC provides work and non-work injury cover in New Zealand, and offer the following self employed cover options:

1. ACC Cover Plus - standard cover for self employed persons based on earnings received
2. ACC Cover Plus Extra - for self employed persons based on agreed level of weekly compensation.
3. ACC Time Out - ensures continuous income protection cover for those planning to take a break from work

All employers are required to pay levies to fund personal workplace injury for their employees. The employer cover option available is:

1. ACC Workplace Cover - standard cover for employers based on wages paid

We can monitor your ACC compliance requirements, and adjust cover to suit your individual needs.
