IMPORTANT - You can lodge your return online
The Levy Payer Portal allows levy payers to access their information if a levy payer register is kept by a Research and Development Corporation (RDC).
You can access the Levy Payer portal.
Features
The Levy Payer Portal gives you access to:
- view the levies that have been collected on your behalf if an RDC is keeping a register
- review and update your personal details.
You can only access information about yourself and the levies you pay if an RDC is keeping a levy payer register. This means that some of the levies you pay may not be included in the portal because an RDC has not established a register.
Check the notices page for more information about the RDCs that have established a levy payer register.
Registration process
You will automatically receive an email from the department inviting you to register to access the Levy Payer Portal if a collection agent includes your email as part of their levy return. To protect your privacy, you will be asked to answer a question about your levy transactions or provide documentation to verify your identity as part of the registration process.
