Notification of Rates of Levy for 1997 Calendar Year The National Beekeepers' Association of New Zealand (Inc) advises that the rates of levy payable under this order have been fixed by the association for 1997. The levy is payable at 2 rates, being: (a) Class 1: A rate of $50 plus G.S.T. payable for each beekeeper's first apiary site; and (b) Class 2: A rate of $22 plus G.S.T. payable for each additional apiary site. The levy for 1997 is calculated for a beekeeper on the basis of the number of the beekeeper's apiary sites on 1 June 1996. A beekeeper who owned or controlled fewer than 11 beehives and had fewer than 4 apiary sites on 1 June 1996 is exempt from paying the levy for 1997, provided he/she supplies a statutory declaration to that effect to the association.
