UK Payroll: Pay apprenticeship levy through Xero
I have a client that needs to apply the Apprenticeship levy and this is not available on Xero Payroll as this is normally a function for large companies and not small companies that Xero are focusing on. This is a small company, but do form part of a large UK group therefore are sucked into reporting this to HMRC. Can this function be integrated into Xero payroll to be switched on when needed? I am sure it won't be a large effort for the Support Team at Xero. More and more clients are using Xero including larger companies and this will aid future clients to join Xero. I recommend Xero to everyone, small and large companies as the addons make all functioning well.
Currently the payroll will need to be ran and the client need to download HMRC Basic tools to submit the Apprenticeship levy that is only £261 per month. What a hassle. If your Team can generate a solution within payroll, we would have a happier client.

We are running currently at 160 employees and are close to £3 million threshold. I think this is really important for Xero to have this facility

This is critical for us! We are still a small family business but growing fast and will likely fall over the £3m threshold this year. As the legal requirement is that we 'must report and pay apprenticeship levy through your EPS' (direct quote from the HMRC website) I dont see how Xero can't provide this functionality as it is a UK regulatory requirement.

This is a requirement for all UK business with annual payroll over £3m. Miffed that Xero do not offer this service.
