Apprenticeship Levy
11th March 2016
The UK Government will start collecting an apprenticeship levy in April 2017. Employers will pay the levy at a rate of 0.5% of payroll from the point where their payroll exceeds £3 million. The levy has attracted some criticism from those who dislike the costs for business. This briefing explains the benefits of more training, discusses how the system is likely to work and sets out five recommendations to ensure success.
Further details and recommendation are attatched.
