Apprentices: Employers' Contributions
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he has taken to ensure employers are aware of the available National Insurance relief when hiring apprentices under the age of 25.
- Answer
-
HMRC maintains comprehensive Gov.uk guidance to help employers understand the Class 1 NICs relief for apprentices under the age of 25, which has been in place since 2016. It can be found here: Paying employer National Insurance contributions for apprentices under 25 - GOV.UK.
Beyond the NICs relief, the Government is committed to supporting apprenticeships as a key component of its growth mission to achieve growth. The Autumn Budget provided £40 million to help to deliver new foundation and shorter apprenticeships in key sectors.
