Every year there are deadlines for the submission of information that is used in the levy calculation and listed below. We strongly encourage schemes to contact D&B about their sponsoring employers’ failure scores, and to begin work on risk reduction measures and the related voluntary certificates, at the earliest opportunity.

The following key dates apply for the 2013/14 levy year:
