non-levy paying employers

Non-levy paying employers are businesses that do not pay the Apprenticeship Levy, a tax used to fund apprenticeship programs in the UK. This typically includes smaller businesses with a pay bill of under £3 million per year. Instead of contributing to the levy, these employers can access government funding to support apprenticeships. The government covers a significant portion of the training costs, enabling them to train apprentices without the financial burden on their budgets. This system encourages smaller businesses to participate in workforce development through apprenticeships.
