Why (and How) to Submit Skills Development Reports by 30 April
 

While many companies pay the Skills Development Levy (SDL) that amounts to 1% of total payroll each month, not all companies are taking advantage of the incentives that allow as much as 70% of the paid levies to be claimed back by meeting certain requirements and submitting the required annual reports by the 30 April deadline. 

Not claiming back the levies paid results not only in forfeiting of the monies recoverable but also in missing out on other benefits. In this article, we look at what and how much can be claimed, the other benefits that can be unlocked, as well as how to claim in the most efficient way, which may require relying on professional assistance.

Surprisingly, some of them are very common. Here are five quick tips for mistakes to avoid when writing your business plan.

 
 
 

In the recent 2023 Budget, it was announced that the urban development zone (UDZ) tax incentive will be extended by a further two years until the end of March 2025. The incentive creates beneficial tax allowances for property investments in certain central business districts of South Africa’s major cities. 

While not every local business may be able to benefit from this tax incentive programme, those that do qualify will find it can reduce taxable income by millions and - because it is not limited to the taxpayer’s taxable income - even create an assessed loss.
