Asked by: Lord Godson (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government how much money was raised by the apprenticeship levy in each of the financial years (1) 2016–17, (2) 2017–18, (3) 2018–19, (4) 2019–20, (5) 2020–21, and (6) 2021–22.
Answered by Baroness Penn - Minister on Leave (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State)
The Apprenticeship Levy was introduced in April 2017 and so there are no receipts for the 2016-2017 financial year. Monthly and Annual receipts data for the Apprenticeship Levy are published by HM Revenue and Customs in their Tax Receipts and National Insurance Contribution publication.[1]
A condensed version of the table of interest has been copied below, which shows how much funding has been raised by the Apprenticeship Levy in each year since it was introduced in financial year 2017-18:
