Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 July 2022, amend the Telecommunications Operators (Commerce Commission Costs) Levy Regulations 2019 (the principal regulations).
The principal regulations impose levies on telecommunications operators regulated under the Telecommunications Act 2001, including a sub-levy that applies to all such operators. Telecommunications operators who are subject to information disclosure and price-quality regulation are subject to additional sub-levies that relate to those functions.
Currently, the sub-levy structure will end on 30 June 2022, so that from 1 July 2022 a single levy will apply.
The effect of this amendment is to preserve the existing sub-levy structure under Schedule 1.
Schedule 2, which would have implemented the single levy structure, is revoked.
Date of notification in Gazette: 26 May 2022.
These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.
