Seta funding, SARS incentives, and BEE points linked to accredited programmes
How does an employer access Seta funding?
- The employer must be a levy payer to a SETA and their levy payments must be up to date.
- The employer must have submitted a Workplace Skills Plan / Annual Training Report, including their Pivotal Plan, to their SETA before the annual submission date (30 April of the year, before the funding window opens).
- The Workplace Skills Plan / Annual Training Report and Pivotal Plan must have been approved by the SETA.
- The employer must apply for funding while the discretionary funding window is open. The timing is Seta specific.
- The employer must appoint an accredited training provider to deliver the training.
- The SETA will approve / decline the application, either in part or in full.
When does an employer qualify for SARS tax incentives?
- The employer must have learners registered on learnerships.
- Tax incentives are claimed in two financial years, i.e. on commencement of the training and on completion of the learnership.
How many BEE points apply to accredited training (learnerships and skills programmes)?
- Please discuss this with your BEE Consultant, who will be able to calculate the number of
points.
