More than 55,000 motorists overcharged for ACC levy

Photo / FileMore than 55,000 motorists have been overcharged for the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) vehicle levy. A proactively released document by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has revealed the details of what went wrong. The ACC motor vehicle levy helps cover the cost of accidents on public roads involving moving vehicles. This is collected by Waka Kotahi on behalf of ACC when people pay to register their vehicles. Organisational changes across Waka Kotahi and ACC in recent years meant information about the levy change was not communicated to the correct team in time, the advice said.
