    Already paying by direct debit?

    If you’re on a standard annual, three or six month payment plan, this should automatically roll over. We'll then send your payment schedule out with your invoice. Your payment schedule will tell you when any payments will come out of your account.

    If you're not on a standard plan, you’ll need to contact us to set this up when you receive your invoice. We'll then send your payment schedule separate from your invoice.

    If your current invoice is on a payment plan and you want to pay it in full, please contact 0800 729 538 option 2 before making payment.

    Pay in person

    Pay your invoice at any Westpac ATM or over the counter.

    From 1 June 2024, you'll need to provide Westpac with your name and phone number when making payment, in line with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act.

    Late payment interest

    Late payment interest is charged when a levy invoice isn’t fully paid by its due date. It’s applied to all overdue amounts. 

    Interest is charged under section 250 of the Accident Compensation Act 2001 (the Act). The late payment interest rate is 1% per month compounding, set by a regulation. You can see this on the New Zealand Legislation website.
