You will already be paying the Apprenticeship Levy.

The Apprenticeship Levy is a mandatory government tax that will be payable by all UK employers with a pay bill over £3million. You will contribute 0.5% of your annual salary bill into the Levy.

The levy is collected through monthly HMRC deductions and the amount you pay will be credited to the apprenticeship. The monies you build up in this account is yours but must be spent on apprenticeships. It cannot be used on wages or other staff expenses. You have 24 months to spend levy funds.
