Getting the best return from your ACC levies

If you’re self-employed, getting sick or injured can have a big impact on your income. Fortunately, in New Zealand we have ACC right? While that’s true, ACC only covers a very small number of the events that are likely to cause you to be off work. So, you could be paying too much for what you do get, without getting what you need.

Cover with ACC Only

$59 per week for injury only

Cover with ACC Cover Plus Extra and Private Loss of Earnings

$66 per week for Injury and Illness

Every self-employed builder should review their ACC arrangements to decide whether this approach makes sense for them.
