Changes to the Deer velvet levy and Deer export charge

​Starting 1 July 2016, the overall rate for the deer velvet and deer export levy will be set to zero. The current deer velvet and deer export levy is not viable due to the small amount of funds collected on the sale and export of deer velvet and export of live deer where a large portion goes to paying administration costs of the levy.

Information on Lodging your Returns

Deer velvet levy – quarterly returns

If you are a deer velvet levy payer/agent who submit quarterly returns, you will be required to submit your April to June 2016 quarterly return – due on or before 28 July 2016. This will be your final deer velvet return submitted to the department.

Deer export – monthly returns

If you are a deer export charge payer/agent who submit monthly returns, your last monthly return for the month of June is due on or before 28 July 2016.

For more information please read the information on deer export charge.
