There are various forms of levy. Clubs are levied an affiliation fee for every member. This is built in to membership fees (subs). If you don't pay the annual sub, you cannot be a club member. There are levies in the form of MNZ Permit fees. Every event must have a MNZ Permit. Until the beginning of this year our local Club charged $15 to enter a motorkhana. Of this $15, $10 went to MNZ in Permit fees ie they made TWICE as much out of the event as the organising Club did! Licences, log books, roll bar homologation are all forms of levies. They may not be called a levy, but they are all ways used by MNZ to finance their operations. So when they require more money they simply increase their fees.
