CITB Consensus Latest

Following consultation with the industry, CITB is currently reviewing feedback received on the draft Levy Proposals for 2026 ? 2029, which set out two options with different Levy exemption and reduction thresholds.

The formal Consensus process will now take place as follows:

• December 2024 ? Following recommendations from the Levy Strategy Committee, the CITB Board will approve the final Levy Proposal for in?scope employers to vote on.
• January 2025 ? CITB will publish the final Levy Proposal together with its strategic plan.
• 10 February 2025 ? The Consensus survey will open.
• 21 March 2025 ? The Consensus survey will close.

As a ‘Prescribed Organisation’, Build UK is required to formally consult its in?scope members on the Levy Proposal during Consensus, and they will be sharing further information with nominated Levy representatives shortly.

A final reminder that employers registered with CITB who have not yet submitted their completed Levy Return 2024 have until 30 November to do so, otherwise they will lose eligibility for all 2024/25 grant claims, including apprenticeships, qualifications and short courses.
