Cost Recovery Proposals under the Animal Products Act 1999

Attachments

The following attachments deal with industry good costs and proposed charging mechanisms on a sector by sector basis.

All figures are GST exclusive.

Where possible costs have been apportioned (and recovery methods proposed) which separate out export processors from domestic only processors.

The proposals are based on the budgets presented in appendix 2. These are based on indicative budgets for 2007/08 and may change when budgets are finalised in early 2007. However, they will serve to highlight the impact or particular charging regimes that are subject to discussion in the attachments. Actual fees, charges and levies rates will be consulted on in early 2007 along with the preferred charging mechanisms.

The meat, game, wet fish, shellfish and poultry attachments relate to costs for primary processors. Those primary processors that engage in other processing, storing or rendering are also liable to pay the respective fees for those activities. Currently for primary processors such charges are incorporated into the levies and charges payable.

The cost recovery methods are based on the best information NZFSA has readily available. Submitters are invited to submit alternative mechanisms.
