What is ACC Classification Unit 73400?

What is the ACC Work levy rate for CU 73400?

Is this the same as the ACC earner's levy?
No. The earner's levy is a single flat rate every employee and self-employed person pays for non-work injury cover — it's the same regardless of CU. The Work levy calculated here is an additional levy employers and self-employed people pay, and it varies by classification unit.
Is $0.07 per $100 a high ACC levy rate?
It sits in the cheapest quarter of ACC's 536 classification units: 18 charge less and 500 charge more. The median CU rate for 2026-27 is $0.67 per $100, and rates run from $0.02 to $5.29 — a spread that reflects injury risk and claims history by industry, not the size of the business.
What does being in the wrong CU cost?
Every CU in Financial and Insurance Services is on the same $0.07 rate for 2026-27, so a mix-up inside this sector does not change the levy. Being classified into another sector can change it a great deal — CU rates run from $0.02 to $5.29 per $100.

ACC assigns your CU based on your declared business activity or BIC code — check a recent ACC invoice, or use ACC's CoverPlus Extra estimator for a business-specific confirmation. If your work doesn't match "Financial asset investing", search our full CU list for a closer match.
