How to Recover Up to 40% of Your Skills Development Levy

The R1.1 billion problem

Over R20 billion is collected annually through SDL. A staggering portion goes unclaimed simply because businesses don't structure their training to align with SETA requirements. BNOS Africa helps employers turn that levy into recoverable cash, tax rebates, and B-BBEE points.

Three ways to recover your levy

Mandatory SETA grants

Submit your WSP/ATR on time and you can claim up to 20% of your levy back ,no extra training required. We draft and submit these for you.

Discretionary grants

Apply for project-based funding from your SETA (e.g., learnerships, skills programmes). Grants typically range from R30,000 to R120,000 per learner.

Section 12H tax incentive

Host learners on an NQF learnership? You can deduct R50,000–R120,000 per learner from your taxable income – often exceeding the total cost of the programme.

What a 20 learner cohort can return
  • SETA grants: ~R600,000
  • Section 12H rebates: ~R500,000
  • Total potential recovery: R1.1 million

That's money back into your business, plus a trained workforce and improved B-BBEE scorecard.
