APPRENTICESHIP LEVY
The Apprenticeship Levy was announced in the Government November Spending Review 2015. It is essentially an additional payroll tax, set at 0.5% of an employer’s annual pay bill, collected through PAYE. The Levy came into force in April 2017 and affects all employers with a presence in the UK, from businesses to charities to schools, regardless of sector, with an annual pay bill of more than £3 million. Groups of companies under a common ownership structure will be treated as one business. The OPRA Group will assist businesses to understand and utilise the levy.
What our clients say about us
I would like to say that the job application process was seamless and I always had confidence that you would do what you said in a timely manner. You were supremely supportive and always available. I could not have asked for more from my agent.
Thank you so much
I normally receive CV’s as soon as I raise a vacancy, so I am confident that The OPRA Group starts to source candidates as soon as they receive the job specifications.
