Levy transfer - recieving employer classed as levy or non?

Created

None

Morning,

We’ve had our first few dealings with levy transfers and need clarification on how to classify the receiving employer. Typically, the receiving employer is non-levy, but since they are receiving funds from a levy transfer pot, should we issue non-levy contracts or levy contracts?

Many thanks for your help.

Spoke to the Apprenticeship Service who said treat it as non-levy and then found this 

Rules for providers
177. For the purposes of apprenticeships funded by a transfer, the receiving employer is treated as a levy-paying employer

Apprenticeship funding rules 2024 to 2025 (publishing.service.gov.uk)

Yeah, I was going to say Levy... Although I'm rather interested in what the difference between your contracts are?

We use the ones provided through our membership with AeLP, and there is very little difference, mainly around the co-investment.  Next year I may try and suggest that we only have one contract rather than differentiate between the two.
