The funds in levy-paying employers\u2019 apprenticeship service accounts are distinct from, and operate on a different basis to, the department\u2019s apprenticeships budget. The former represents funding for apprenticeships notionally available for use by individual levy-paying employers over a two-year period. The latter represents the total amount of funding available annually to support apprenticeships in England for all employers, including those who do not pay the apprenticeship levy.<\/p>
The funds available to levy-paying employers through their apprenticeship service accounts are notionally hypothecated based on their levy contributions over a two-year period. These funds do not constitute a \u2018physical\u2019 pot of money; they should be considered more as credit that is available for each levy-paying employer to use if they wish.<\/p>
When a levy-paying employer has an employee on an apprenticeship, their account will show their available funds being debited each month to reflect the cost of this training and assessment. In parallel but entirely separately, the training provider receives an equivalent value monthly payment directly from the department\u2019s apprenticeships budget. These payments do not actually come from levy-paying employers\u2019 accounts.<\/p>
Since available funds in each levy-paying employer\u2019s account are notionally hypothecated, there are no monies to \u2018reallocate\u2019 when unused funds expire after 24 months. The credit is either drawn down, and equivalent payments separately made to training providers from the department\u2019s annual budget, or expires when not used and the department\u2019s annual budget remains the same). The government expires funds after 24 months because otherwise levy-paying employers would accrue unreasonably large balances, with the potential to create financial commitments that the government has not planned to meet.<\/p>
On average, 98% of the English apprenticeships budget has been spent over the last two financial years. If the department\u2019s apprenticeships budget is not fully spent by the end of the financial year, funds are returned to HM Treasury in line with standard practice set out in the Consolidated Budgeting Guidance.<\/p>

It is hard to predict the impact of an IPT reduction on motor insurance pricing because this depends on how insurers react.
