If your organisation has a payroll of more than £3m, you'll pay the Apprenticeship Levy. Find out more about the Apprenticeship Levy on GOV.UK.
The Essex Apprenticeship Levy Transfer Service (EALTS) enables you to gift up to 25%. This helps small businesses to offer an apprenticeship to current or new employees.
Benefits of using the levy as a small business include:
- enhancing the skills of your current employees
- cutting costs for development opportunities
- helping to reduce unemployment
- contributing to business and economic growth
If you would like to donate your unspent levy or recruit an apprentice, visit the EALTS website or email info@essexalts.co.uk.
You can find more information on hiring an apprentice on the government’s website.
