CITB has communicated the way the CITB Levy will be calculated from 2017.
Employers who have previously declared labour-only payments received this reduced their levy liability are being told that this offset facility is being removed to further simplify the system.
The Director of Policy and Strategic Planning at CITB, Steve Radley, has said; “The changes we are making to the levy system come in direct response to requests from the industry for a more transparent and easily operated system that as a result makes it quicker, easier and cheaper to complete annual levy returns.”
“With the industry returning to growth, we know that it is even more important for us to respond quickly to the requests of the industry. So we can enable companies to make the most of the opportunities available to them.“
“We are pleased that we have been able to make the levy process more efficient and therefore are working to make sure that employers are aware of the training and other services that are available to their businesses through the Grants Scheme. “
Levy Simplification is changing the way the levy is generated on payments to sub-contractors to make the Levy Return simpler.
