11 What is the Apprenticeship Levy & who pays it? The Apprenticeship Levy is a tax on UK employers with a PAYE bill of over 3 million per year These employers are required to pay 0.5% of their annual payroll into a Levy fund on a monthly basis to pay for new Apprentices. Employers in England will receive a 10% top-up to their monthly Levy contributions from the Government, once they have spent their full Levy fund. If you don t spend your Levy fund you ll lose it

12 What if I'm not a Levy payer? Non-levy payers will have to make a cash contribution of 10% to the cost of the apprenticeship In year one, these will be made directly to the providers Employers with less than 50 employees will be able to train year old apprentices without making a contribution Employers who take on a year old will receive a 1k government incentive

13 What can I spend my Apprenticeship Levy on and/or what can I have funded? Any apprenticeship delivered by approved providers registered on the RoATP Upskill existing staff, at any level, any age No employer NI contributions payable for employees aged under 25 on an approved apprenticeship scheme The Levy offers a great opportunity to upskill your existing staff of all ages, (16+ with no upper age limit), and offer them professional accreditations. It s not just about recruiting young people into entry level roles
