The Training Tax Credits Regulation has been updated to include the drywall finisher and plasterer trade in two schedules. In Schedule 2, the trade is added as an eligible training program, with 'graduate' status satisfying the Level 3 and Level 4 requirements. In Schedule 3, it is listed as an eligible apprenticeship program, with Level 1 credit requiring completion of 1,680 work-based hours plus Level 1 technical training, and Level 2 credit requiring 3,360 work-based hours plus Level 2 technical training. Employers and apprentices in this trade who meet those thresholds may now be eligible for the corresponding training tax credits. Affected parties should confirm their eligibility with a qualified tax adviser.
