On-supply arrangements
An on-supply arrangement enables a person (on-supplier) to buy a large amount of electricity from an electricity retailer for a building. The on-supplier must have a facility to further supply and sell electricity for consumption at self-contained places of business or residence.
An on-supplier is responsible for paying the Community Ambulance Cover levy for all the places of business and residence to which they on-supply electricity. The on-supplier can recover the levy in arrears for those places of business and residence from owners or occupiers, unless an exemption applies. For further information regarding on-suppliers' obligations, please refer to the on-suppliers page.
An owner or occupier who lives or works in a self-contained place of business or residence and receives on-supplied electricity must pay their on-supplier for the levy. For further details, please read the Information for on-supply customers Information sheet.
In some cases, you may claim an exemption for the levy on electricity supplied to one of these places of business or residence.
Exemptions
The following exemptions apply to on-supply arrangements:
Unless all qualifying conditions for these exemptions are met, there is no discretion to allow the exemption.
Because the levy relates to the supply of electricity, not the person holding the account, exemptions cannot be granted because of financial hardship, difficult circumstance, private health insurance or because the person does not live in Queensland.
In some cases, you may claim an exemption for the levy on electricity supplied to one of these places of business or residence.
