Changes to the cost of work

As levies are payable in advance, we may need to base your initial levy payment on an estimate.

If the cost of work changes between when you first notify the work and when the project is completed, you must let us know. Any changes to the cost of work may mean that you need to pay additional levies or that you could be eligible for a refund.

How to notify us of changes to the cost of work

If the cost of work has decreased by $20,000 or more, has dropped below $150,000, or the work isn't commencing and won't commence in the future:

  • you may be able to receive a partial or full refund
  • click here to complete the levy refund application

If the cost of work has increased by $50,000 or more:

  • the person for whom the work was done must notify us of the total final cost within 30 days after the work ends and pay additional levies
  • failure to do so may result in penalties

You can also let us know about changes to the cost of work by emailing levies@qleave.qld.gov.au with all the relevant details. Please be aware that time limits apply.
