The Apprenticeship Levy
6th April 2017
This is an important intervention in the UK labour market and students are advised to be aware of the new apprenticeship levy as a fiscal/supply-side measure.
From April 2017, employers in England, who have an annual pay bill above £3m will from Thursday have to pay 0.5 per cent of their pay bill in a Government fund that will cover the cost of training apprentices.
