The Director of Policy and Strategic Planning at CITB, Steve Radley, has said; “The changes we are making to the levy system come in direct response to requests from the industry for a more transparent and easily operated system that as a result makes it quicker, easier and cheaper to complete annual levy returns.”
“With the industry returning to growth, we know that it is even more important for us to respond quickly to the requests of the industry. So we can enable companies to make the most of the opportunities available to them.“
