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 Information Media and Telecommunications the levy runs from $0.05 (CU 24211, Newspaper publishing) to $0.37 (CU 92510, Music and other sound recording activities (not elsewhere classified)) — $320.00 a year apart on $100,000 of liable earnings. These are the Information Media and Telecommunications units closest to CU 91130 on a different rate:
| Classification unit | Rate | vs CU 91130 on $100,000 |
|---|---|---|
| CU 91120 Motion picture and video distribution | $0.14 | −$230.00 a year |
