You could also call this:

"ACC decides how to group people to figure out their payments"

The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) can make decisions about certain things to help figure out how much levy you need to pay. They can decide if the money you earn is from being an employee or from working for yourself. They can also decide if you're an employer, an employee, or if you work for yourself. The ACC can even decide which type of employer, employee, or self-employed person you are. Lastly, they can make decisions about other related things that they think are important for working out your levy. These decisions help make sure everyone pays the right amount.
