how does the Apprenticeship Levy work?
If your wage bill exceeds £3 million, your organisation will be paying into the Apprenticeship Levy scheme. The Levy is charged at 0.5% of your wage bill. This money is collected in your HMRC digital account until it is either spent on apprenticeship training for your organisation or expires after 24 months.
Suppose you don't pay the Levy, or you've already spent your allocation. In that case, you are eligible to receive at least 95% government funding for any apprenticeship training you enrol your staff on. This makes apprenticeships a highly affordable, cost-effective solution for workplace training for all UK employers.
Apprenticeship funding can be used to upskill, train and grow anyone within your company, whether this is someone right at the beginning of their career or an existing member of staff that could benefit from advanced sales training. When used wisely, this programme could transform the career of someone in your organisation and, in turn, increase revenue for your company.
