Changes to long service levy threshold and rate

From 1 January 2023 the levy exemption threshold increased from $25,000 to $250,000. This means a levy payment is not required where the cost of building and construction work is below $250,000. The levy rate payable also reduced from 0.35% to 0.25%.
