Classification of Aggregators

Key points

1. 1The schedule lists nine categories of aggregators, and section 114(4) uses this list to decide which aggregators come within the contribution requirement for gig and platform worker schemes. §schedule
2. 2The named categories are ride sharing, food and grocery delivery, logistics, e-marketplaces, professional services, healthcare, travel and hospitality, and content and media. §schedule
3. 3E-marketplaces are covered under both the marketplace model and the inventory model, for wholesale or retail sale of goods or services, to businesses (B2B) or to consumers (B2C). §schedule
4. 4Item 9, any other goods and services provider platform, is a catch-all, so a platform outside the eight named fields can still fall within the list. §schedule
5. 5The schedule only classifies aggregators. It sets no contribution rate and no start date. Section 114(4) puts the rate at between 1 and 2 per cent of the aggregator's annual turnover, as notified by the Central Government, capped at 5 per cent of what the aggregator pays or owes to gig and platform workers, and section 114(5) leaves the start date to a notification. §schedule
