Apprenticeships – Non Levy Payers

If your annual pay bill is less than £3 million you will not be required to pay the Apprenticeship Levy tax.

Paying for apprenticeship training

You will be required to make a 5% contribution towards the cost of the maximum funding availability for the particular apprenticeship – the government will pay the remaining 95% (this is called co-investment). You will also need to pay the balance of any additional training provider fees if these are applicable.

Example:

Apprenticeship ‘X’ offered by Training Provider ‘Y’
Maximum funding available: £10,000
The government contributes: £9,500
Your funding contribution £500
Additional training provider fees: £1,000
You pay (£500 + £1,000): £1,500

Key facts for Non Levy Payers:

  1. Your apprenticeship training will be funded via co-investment and employer contribution (meaning the government pay some and you pay some)
  2. You will need to choose apprenticeship training delivered by an approved provider – The College of Animal Welfare is such a provider.
  3. You will pay your chosen training provider directly and may have the option to spread out payments over the course of the apprenticeship.
