Territory Revenue Office

Many government fees in the Northern Territory (NT) are shown in revenue units rather than dollars.

Revenue units are a simple way of maintaining the real value of NT fees and charges while taking into account inflation. Read the Revenue Units Act 2009.

Current value of a revenue unit

The value of a revenue unit increases each financial year by the annual percentage change in Darwin's Consumer Price Index (CPI), or by 3% – whichever is higher.

From 1 July 2024, the value of a revenue unit will increase to $1.41.

For more information about CPI, go to the Australian Bureau of Statistics website.

How to calculate fees

You need to multiply the number of revenue units by the current value of the year chosen.

Number of revenue units x value of revenue unit = value of fee

If the fee is not a multiple of $1, the amount is rounded down to the nearest dollar.

Example

If a revenue unit is $1.41, then the value of 124 revenue units is $174.

124 x $1.41 = $174.84 (rounded down to $174).

When new values apply

If the new value of the revenue unit goes up from the previous year, the new value will apply to any fees you incur on or after the new value's effective date.
