In his Summer Budget, the Chancellor George Osborne announced a significant change in the government’s policy towards apprenticeships (Financial advisor). 
Further details were announced in the November Spending Review.
From April 2017 firms in the UK will be subject to a compulsory apprenticeship levy. This will equate to 0.5% of a firm’s paybill though every employer will receive £15,000 allowance against the levy. In practice this means the levy will only be paid on a paybill of more than £3m.
Levy contributions can be used towards apprenticeships in England only. Money contributed by firms in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be returned to those devolved administrations via their block grant. This is because skills policy funding is devolved to the respective administrations.
