Understanding the Skills Development Levy (SDL)

  • Who Must Pay the SDL?: As per the Skills Development Levies Act of 1999, all employers registered with SARS for PAYE and having an annual payroll exceeding R500,000 or employing more than 50 staff members are required to pay the SDL123.

  • How Much is the SDL?: The levy is calculated as 1% of the total remuneration paid to employees, excluding certain specific exclusions12.

Key Components of Skills Development

  • Workplace Skills Plan: This strategic document outlines how your organization will address training and development needs. It should be developed collaboratively with all employees or their representatives8.

  • Annual Training Report: This report provides evidence to the SETA that training has been conducted in line with your Workplace Skills Plan, allowing you to claim compensation for training expenses8.

  • Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs): SETAs are responsible for developing sector-specific skills plans aligned with the national skills development strategy. They manage the distribution of grants to support employer training initiatives8.

Available Grants from SETAs

  • Mandatory Grant: By submitting a suitable Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report, you are eligible for a mandatory grant of 20% of the SDL paid during the relevant period3.

  • Discretionary Grant: You can apply for a discretionary grant by implementing a PIVOTAL Programme, which focuses on addressing critical and scarce skills needs through professional, vocational, technical, and academic learning programs3.
