Receiving a levy donation

Whether receiving or donating levy funds

We have made the process as simple as possible and have also included some useful information surrounding transfers of levy funds. Employers who pay the apprenticeship levy and have unused apprenticeship funds can transfer up to 25% of their annual funds to another employer. These funds can be used to train and assess your apprentice and are paid monthly for the duration of the apprenticeship. We have a dedicated support team ready to assist with this process, simply get in touch via the form at the bottom of this page and we will provide further information and support.

Further information

  • only levy-paying employers can make a transfer
  • any employer can receive and use transferred funds
  • sending and receiving employers have to be registered on the apprenticeship service
  • a transfer can only be used to pay for training and assessment for apprenticeship standards
  • transfers can only be used for new starts, except where the apprentice is changing employer and an agreement to continue their apprenticeship with their new employer is through a transfer of levy funds
