CITB Update

Collection of the CITB Levy will resume in September 2020 after being suspended due to coronavirus, and CITB is offering employers interest‐free direct debit instalments to spread payment over a 12‐month period until August 2021. The amount you are required to pay will be reflected in your 2019 Levy Assessment Notice, which will be distributed by post this month, along with a direct debit mandate. The first instalment is due by 28 September, and existing direct debits will automatically switch to the new instalment plan.

For 2021/22, CITB has proposed a 50% reduction in the Levy, as well as raising the threshold at which companies are liable for Levy from £80,000 to £120,000. CITB has released an online Levy Calculator to provide a guide to what your Levy may look like, and payment will be taken in six instalments between September 2021 and February 2022.
