Urgent Reminder: Submit Your 2024 Levy Return By 30th November!

Since the first deadline in June during our grant payment checks with the CITB Grants Team on behalf of our clients, we have identified that numerous companies are not up-to-date with their 2024 levy returns—when they believed they were.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL CITB LEVY-REGISTERED BUSINESSES

If your 2024 levy return is not sent by 30th November 2024, you will lose your eligibility for all grant claims until the next grant year, which starts in April 2025—even if you bring it up to date post-November 2024.

Don’t assume you’re up to date. Check whilst there is an opportunity to bring your CITB levy up to date. Every CITB levy-registered business must send their annual return even when exempt from payments. The only exception to this is when you are newly registered to the CITB levy and in your first year of registration.

Don’t get caught out.

• If you want to make a Skills and Training Fund application, this will affect the approval of your application if it is not up to date.
  
• If you have a live skills and training fund, it will not be cost-neutral as your skills and training fund application excludes your standard CITB grants. These combined pots make your training cost-neutral.
  
• If you want to access CITB Employer Networks funding, you need to be up to date to access this.
  
• If you complete any grant-eligible training, missing the deadline will mean grants claimed will not be paid. With enhanced grants for higher-level NVQs being as much as £1500 per person, this can be a costly impact.
