A substantial increase in the limits for the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) - a tax concession encouraging employers to hire more young people – was announced during Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s 2022 Budget Speech.

In this article, we find out what the new limits are, look at a few ETI calculations to see the potential tax reduction, and draw attention to the pitfalls for employers to ensure this ETI incentive can be claimed successfully, allowing companies to employ more young people by sharing the cost with government.
