Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to maintain the Apprenticeship Levy at 0.5 per cent of employers’ annual pay bills for the remainder of this Parliament.

The Apprenticeship Levy, also known as the Growth and Skills Levy, is charged at a rate of 0.5 per cent of an employer's annual pay bill where that pay bill exceeds £3 million. The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review. Any decisions on future policy will be announced in the usual way.
