Under the Commodity Levies (Harvested Wood Material) Order 2013, the Forest Growers Levy Trust has set the levy payable for the 2016 levy year (1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016) at 27 cents per tonne of harvested wood material. The rate is exclusive of GST.

The Trust notes that the levy rate has remained stable at 27 cents since the implementation of the Levy Order (the Order allows the rate to be set from 27 cents to 30 cents per tonne).
