The Ministry for Primary Industries is seeking feedback on changes to cost recovery settings for the forestry Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

What’s being proposed
For this consultation, we’re looking at increasing some fees, introducing a fee, and removing one.
Proposed fee increases
- Apply to register.
- Emissions return processing.
- Travel for purpose of checking that land is post-1989 forest land.
- Adding one or more Carbon Accounting Areas.
- Removing a Carbon Accounting Area (whole).

Proposed new fee
- Request for forest carbon stock table.
Proposed removal of an existing fee
