Levy Transfer Affordability Estimator

Just one for info 🙂 I've had confirmation from the Apprenticeship Service, that the Levy Transfer affordability estimator in an employer's Apprenticeship Service account, is wrong. They've never updated it since the allowance went from 25% to 50% of levy paid in the previous tax year. So, if you or any of your levy employers are transferring any levy, you'll need to work out manually whether it's affordable. Don't forget the big completion payment at then end. One scenario I was testing was affordable for all on programme payments, but the completion payment would have been due just before the end of a tax year, and tipped it over.

"Cool"... Did they suggest they might, at some point, be fixing it?
They didn't say. I was asked for feedback on the response, and I said I was satisfied, but they could perhaps have indicated that they were escalating that to be fixed. They're already had ten months to do it.
