The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that £2.6 billion would be paid in apprenticeship levy on 2017-18. The department has ring-fenced the apprenticeship budget which has been set regardless of how much levy receipts are each year. This budget was set at £2.01 billion for the 2017-18 financial year and we will publish further details on our spending on apprenticeships in our annual report and accounts on GOV.UK.
