Changes to the Fire and Emergency levy rate
There has been an increase to the Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) levy rate from 1 July 2024.
On behalf of Fire and Emergency New Zealand, insurers collect levies on certain insurance policies including (but not limited to):
- Home
- Personal contents
- Motor vehicle (personal and commercial)
- Business assets and commercial buildings
- Contract works
This levy is added onto the insurance premium and is included in the total package charge.
When your policy renews after 1 July 2024, the new FENZ levy rates will apply.
*GST is payable in addition to any amount of levy.
