The Apprenticeship Levy
Overview
- The apprenticeship Levy came into force in April 2017. The apprenticeship Levy is a tax that has been designed to encourage employers to maximise the benefits of apprenticeship training. The Levy applies to all businesses operating in the UK with an annual wage bill over £3m per annum. These organisations have to make an investment of 0.5% of their annual wage bill, paid monthly through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) to HMRC
This monthly calculation must also include any remuneration or profit coming from employment, such as wages, bonuses, commissions, and pension contributions that the employer pays National Insurance contributions on. Organisations then receive a Levy allowance of £15,000 per year, from the Government, to offset against the Levy they must pay. However, any firm with a footprint that includes operations in the devolved nations must subtract this as a percentage of their total apprenticeship pot.
Each month they will then receive a further 10% top up from the Government. Once an employer has paid their monthly Levy bill, they will be able to access these funds to pay for Apprenticeship training, in the form of digital vouchers, through a new Digital Apprenticeship Service account.
Apprenticeship Levy funds can be used to train and develop new talent to the employer’s business or to upskill existing employees and help reduce the skills gap within the UK economy.
How to Calculate Apprenticeship Levy Amount?
- The following are two simplistic examples of how the levy calculations will work on a yearly basis. Furthermore, these examples do not highlight that the allowance is to be provided in equal monthly instalments of £1,250 and that the amount is to be paid on the monthly basis.
Example 1: An employer who will be eligible to pay the levy
First of all, an employer with an annual income bill of £6,000,000:
Levy sum will be: £6,000,000 x 0.5% = £30,000
Subtracting allowance of levy: £30,000 – £15,000 = £15,000
As a result, the employer will have to pay £15,000 per annum as an apprenticeship levy.
Example 2: An employer who does not have to pay the Apprenticeship Levy
An employer with an annual income bill of £2,500,000:
Levy sum will be: £2,500,000 x 0.5% = £12,500
Subtracting levy allowance: £12,500 – £15,000 = £0 levy payment per annum
How to spend your apprenticeship Levy account?
- A Levy allowance is calculated on a monthly basis and will accumulate throughout the year with any unused allowance being carried over from one month to the next. Employers in England will be able to reclaim their levy contributions either as an employer provider, or through a registered training provider such as Remit Training. Apprenticeships have now all been allocated a funding band. There are 15 funding bands, ranging from £1,500 to £27,000, regardless of age or geographic location which provides a more simplistic fee for employers to negotiate when working with providers. By knowing the value of the qualifications you want delivering, as a rough guide, you can calculate how many of the relevant apprenticeships can be delivered using your Levy allocation. The vouchers will last for 24 months from the time they appear in your digital account. If they are not spent within this time, they will expire.
I don’t pay the levy. What funding do I get?
- As your annual pay bill is £3m or less, you don’t pay the levy. You will still receive funding from the government by sharing the cost. For those aged 19 and over, the government will pay 95% of the cost, leaving you to pay just 5% towards the cost of apprenticeship training. If you’re a company with less than 50 employees, apprenticeships offered to 16 to 18 year olds will be covered 100% by the government (to a maximum funding band). The government will also support you with an additional £1,000 when you take on an apprentice who is under 19, leaving care, or has additional needs.
What if we use up the funding in our levy pot?
- You’ll receive the same government support as non-levy paying companies if you spend all levy contributions you’ve made. It’s also worth remembering that these funds expire after 24 months unless they’re spent on approved apprenticeship training.
In summary…
The levy is charged at a rate of 0.5% and only applies to companies with a payroll bill over £3m.
The payments you contribute will be accessible via a digital service to fund approved apprenticeship programmes.
Levy payments must be used within 24 months.
The government contribute 10% monthly top-ups to levy-paying employers.
Non-levy-paying employers share the cost of apprenticeship training with the government, who contribute at least 95%.
If you employ fewer than 50 employees, the government will pay 100% of the apprenticeship training costs up to the funding band maximum for apprentices aged: 16 to 18 & 19 to 24 with an education, health and care plan provided by their local authority or has been in the care of their local authority.
Fees & Funding FAQs
What do the fees include?
- Our course fees cover all the study materials you need, student handbooks, 24/7 access to our virtual learning environment and career portal, as well as dedicated support from both your tutor and student support coordinator.
We host examinations for our online learning students in Coventry, which is included within our course fees. International students who can’t make it to Coventry must find a suitable local exam venue, which may charge a fee. We’re here to help you find and arrange this, and have a list of approved exam centres worldwide, such as colleges, universities, and British Council offices.
How do I pay?
- You can pay for your course using our Online Payment Gateway through credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, UK Maestro), bank transfer, or PayPal (if you’re paying in GBP). Unfortunately, we’re currently unable to accept Amex cards for payment.
Is there a charge for international bank transfers?
- This is usually the case. As we need to receive your payment in full, please discuss this with your bank before making the transfer. They can inform you about the transfer fee and ensure we receive the full amount.
