The Apprenticeship Levy is a policy due to be introduced from 6 April 2017. The Government’s main aims for the Levy are increased productivity within the UK workforce and encouraging the creation of apprenticeships and skills training. There are to be no exemptions and all public sector institutions will also be subject to the Levy.
