Levy Transfers
Transfers policy From April 2018 Maximum of 10% of annual funds Paid monthly for the duration of the apprenticeship Transfers funds to 1 employer, both employers need AS account Only be used for apprenticeship standards
Transfers policy × Employers cannot be a sender and receiver of transferred funds × Levy-paying training provider cannot transfer funds to an employer and deliver the training If the apprenticeship stops, the transferred payments will stop as well Understand the funding rules
Transfers myth busting A transfer can only be used to pay for another employer’s apprenticeships. It will be an exact and agreed amount You cannot transfer 10% as a lump sum or a gift You can make a transfer to any other employer Initially employers can only make a transfer to one other employer
