Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many companies in England paid the apprenticeship levy in 2021–22.
There are an estimated 27,300 businesses (rounded to the nearest 100) with headquarters registered in England that paid the Apprenticeship Levy in tax year 2021 to 2022.
Please note that this estimate is based on where employer headquarters are registered, and therefore does not necessarily reflect where the liabilities are accrued. This does not include businesses with headquarters registered in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, who have a presence and pay employees in England. Meanwhile, this includes businesses with headquarters registered in England, who have a presence and pay employees in Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland, but it assumes that the total pay bill is within England.
