What is the Apprenticeship Levy?
The apprenticeship levy scheme is a tax introduced to help companies offer more apprenticeships. It was initially put in place in 2017 to encourage businesses to develop their employees with apprenticeship training.
How does the apprenticeship levy scheme work?
In the UK, if you have an annual wage bill of £3m or over, you will pay 0.5% of your annual wage bill towards the apprenticeship levy. By doing so, you will be entitled to a Levy Allowance of £15,000. The government will then top up this amount by 10% and place this into your digital account, ready for you to invest in apprenticeship training. This money is stored in your HMRC digital account until your business spends it on an apprenticeship programme; otherwise, it will expire after 24 months.
Suppose your wage bill is not high enough to pay the Apprenticeship Levy, or you've already spent your allocation. In that case, you are still entitled to at least 95% government funding for any apprenticeship course you enrol your employees on.

The top three priorities for investment
Retain talent
Not only does employing apprentices improve employee retention, apprentices are likely to stay and work for the company that provided them with the training when they complete their apprenticeship.
Upskill team
Apprenticeships are one of the most effective ways to upskill your workforce. They can help to improve your employees’ skills, allowing them to become more effective within their job roles.
Improve digital skills
By doing an apprenticeship, your staff will gain an understanding for the latest technologies and develop their digital skills, allowing you to narrow your digital skills gap and future proof your business.
