Paying the levy

Cost of work Levy calculator

The use of this calculator does NOT represent a notification by you to QLeave of the work to be undertaken.

This calculator is supplied only as a tool to assist with the calculation of the payable levy if you need to notify us using paper-based forms. The Building and Construction Levy Portal will calculate your levy for you.

The total cost of work must be $150,000 (excluding GST) or above. You are not required to pay the levy if the total cost of work is less than $150,000 (excluding GST). The total levy rate from 1 July 2020 is 0.575%.

Long Service Leave Levy (0.35%)
CSQ Training Levy (0.1%)
WHSQ Levy (0.125%)

Ready to notify and pay?

If you're ready to notify and pay now, go to the Building and Construction Levy Portal.

Are you eligible for an exemption?

You may be eligible for an exemption on some or all the liable levy payment calculated above. Please visit the Exemptions page for more information.

If you believe you are eligible for an exemption, please contact us on 1300 753 283 or email levies@qleave.qld.gov.au before you pay the levy.

If you have already paid the levy, but think you are eligible for an exemption, you can lodge an internal review request of the levy determination.

What happens after the levy is paid?

It's important to remember that your QLeave obligations don't end once you've notified the work and paid the levy. You need to keep us updated with any changes to project details, and once work ends you'll be invited to finalise project details to ensure the correct levies have been paid.
