How levy and charge rates are set

Levy and charge rates are set by the Australian primary industries that choose to invest in the levies system. The rates are established under legislation.

Levies and charges help to pay for:

  • biosecurity preparedness
  • emergency plant pest and animal disease responses
  • marketing
  • research and development
  • residue testing.

See more on levy laws and the levy system.

For more on levies and charges, levies accounts or how to lodge a return, contact the Levies team.
