Seamless will be funded by a levy on every item of clothing placed on the market in Australia, which will be paid by clothing brands and retailers who become members of the scheme. From 1 July 2024, this levy will be 4 cents per garment, and 3 cents for every garment that meets the eco-modulation criteria.

There are currently no plans to pass the levy on to consumers. Even if all participants did so, the number of garments placed on the Australian market each year is equivalent to 56 items for every Australian. So based on this figure, every Australian would pay just $2.24 in total in one year.
