Dear Lance Watson
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), received on 2
October 2025. You requested the following information:
I'm aware the ACC Earner's Levies and Maximum Prescribed amounts are set out in the
Accident Compensation (Earners' Levy) Regulations released semi-regularly.
However I understand these increases are calculated based on either wage growth or
Consumer Price Index.
Do you have these models/calculations available for distribution? I'd appreciate a copy of
as many of these as you have available, preferably in excel form so that specific formulas
can be viewed.
If possible from 1 April 1992 onwards, but otherwise whatever you may have on record.
The information you requested is more closely related to the functions of ACC. Accordingly, under
section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA, I am transferring your request to ACC.
ACC has 20 working days from receipt of this transfer to make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Josh Green
Domain Lead, & Ministerial Services
