Why do you charge levies?

Taxes, fees and levies (such as GST, the Fire and Emergency New Zealand levy and the Natural Hazards Insurance levy) are collected by all insurance companies on behalf of the government. Insurance companies, like AA Insurance, include them in the premium you pay and ensure they’re passed on to the Government.

This provides general information only and is not intended to be a recommendation or personalised financial advice. Excesses, terms, conditions, limits and exclusions apply to AA Insurance Limited’s policies. Please check the policy wording and your schedule for details of cover. The provision of cover is subject to the underwriting criteria that apply at the time.
