Apprenticeship Levy: Logistics

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many logistics businesses pay into the apprenticeship levy; and what proportion of all companies does that figure represent.

Answer

The ‘Transportation and storage’ sector has paid a total of £280m into the Apprenticeship Levy between April 2017 and March 2019.

HMRC collects data on a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) scheme basis, and employers may have multiple PAYE schemes. HMRC is currently exploring the feasibility of accurately aggregating PAYE schemes to employer level.
