The vote is an opportunity for forest owners to say whether the levy should be renewed for another six years. There is also an opportunity to say how you think the levy should be invested to benefit forest growers. The Levy If you own a forest, you’ll pay the levy when you harvest your wood. Everybody harvesting their trees pays 27 cents in levy for every tonne of wood when it is sold. This raises about $9 million per year. The money is spent on projects to support New Zealand’s forest industry, such as research, promotion, biosecurity and health and safety. Forest growers voted in 2013 for all forest growers to contribute to a fund that would support the growing forest industry. All forest owners pay the levy regardless of the size of their forest because they all benefit from the activities which the levy funds.
