What a different classification would cost
ACC assigns your CU from your declared business activity, so a business doing more than one thing can reasonably sit in more than one unit — and the choice is not cost-neutral. Within Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing the levy runs from $0.88 (CU 01110, Nursery production) to $2.82 (CU 02120, Shearing services) — $1,940.00 a year apart on $100,000 of liable earnings.
