Paying The Apprenticeship Levy - Use it OR lose it!

More affordable than you think

Remember that the Government tops up your levy account by 10% and that the cost of training is spread across the full length of the Apprenticeship programme, with the final 20% paid right at the end.

If you wish to do more Apprenticeships than your levy pot can afford then the employer only pays 5% of the additional Apprenticeship cost, with the Government paying the other 95%.

There are also additional financial incentives for recruiting an Apprentice, which include:

  • £2,000 for each new apprentice aged 16-24 who starts their contract of employment between 1 August 2020 and 31 January 2021.
  • £1,500 for each new apprentice aged 25+ who starts between 1 August 2020 and 31 January 2021

An additional £1,000 incentive for recruiting a 16-18 year-old apprentice or a 19-24 year-old apprentice with additional learning needs or an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.
