Apprenticeship Levy: Burden or opportunity?

摘要

April's Apprenticeship Levy A is a central plank in the Government's ambition to get three million new apprentices started by 2020 and sees all employers operating in the UK with a pay bill of more than ￡3m each year facing an additional tax of 0.5% of the wage bill, which can be recouped through subsidies for training apprentices. It is important to note; government guidance states the levy will not affect the way you fund training for apprentices who started an apprenticeship programme before 1 May 2017. So you will need to carry on funding training for these apprentices under the same terms and conditions that were in place at the time the apprenticeship started.
