Fire and Emergency New Zealand Levy
Changes to the Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) levy framework come into effect on 1 July 2026.
This levy helps fund FENZ and is applied to insurance contracts covering loss or damage from fire, and to contracts of insurance covering motor vehicles and is a separate cost to your insurance premium.
To understand what this means for you or your business please review our client advisory.
