KEY ISSUES Dust Diseases Levy paid by the NSW Self Insurance Corporation In last year s report I recommended the Board liaise with the NSW Self Insurance Corporation the Corporation to ensure the dust diseases levy applied by the Corporation complies with the Workers Compensation Dust Diseases Act 1942 and the associated Goods and Services Tax GST is treated correctly. Determination of the appropriate levy to be applied by the Corporation was not resolved during 2008-09. For a number of years the Corporation has applied the lowest dust diseases levy rate to calculate the levy payable. This potentially conflicts with the Act which requires a range of levy rates to be applied by self-insurers depending on the business classification of their employees. The levy rates vary from per cent to four per cent of employee wages. The rates increase for those business classifications with a greater risk of dust related illness. New South Wales Government employees covered by the Corporation are likely to be in the lower risk business classifications. The Board has advised that the Corporation will be applying the range of levy rates set out in the Act from 2009-10. The issue of whether an adjustment is required for previous years is unresolved. The Corporation had also been deducting GST from the calculated dust diseases levies which are exempt from GST. In 2008-09 this issue was resolved and approximately million of incorrectly deducted GST was recovered by the Board.
