Apprentices: Taxation
(asked on 19th November 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much and what proportion of apprenticeship levy funds were spent on Level 7 Appenticeships in each year since the creation of the levy.
The apprenticeships budget in England is used to fund training and assessment for new apprenticeship starts in apprenticeship levy and non-levy paying employers, and to cover the ongoing costs of apprentices already in training and any additional payments made to employers and providers.
The table below shows spend on Level 7 apprenticeships, by both levy-paying and non-levy paying employers in England, and total spend on the apprenticeship programme.
Financial Year | Overall spend on Level 7 apprenticeships (£ million) | Total spend (£ million) | Proportion of total spend (%) |
2017/18 | 12 | 1,586 | 1 |
2018/19 | 50 | 1,738 | 3 |
2019/20 | 103 | 1,919 | 5 |
2020/21 | 165 | 1,863 | 9 |
2021/22 | 236 | 2,455 | 10 |
2022/23 | 234 | 2,458 | 10 |
