From contribution to recovery
The Skills Development Levy (SDL) requires employers with annual payrolls above R500,000 to contribute one percent of salaries each month. Collected by SARS and distributed to SETAs and the National Skills Fund, these funds can be partially reclaimed through Workplace Skills Plans and Annual Training Reports when spent on accredited training.

Maximising returns on training spend
SDL recovery turns training spend into measurable returns. Employers can reclaim funds through mandatory grants and apply for discretionary funding targeted at scarce skills and youth employment. Accredited training not only unlocks these grants but also contributes to B-BBEE Skills Development points, ensuring compliance drives both financial and workforce impact.

Partnerships that unlock value
Recovering SDL requires collaboration between employers, accredited providers, and SETAs. Providers deliver training aligned to the National Qualifications Framework, businesses track and report progress, and SETAs distribute grants to priority skills. Communities support learner participation, ensuring opportunities reach those in need. Together, these partnerships transform SDL into measurable social and economic impact.

Linking compliance with opportunity
SDL links compliance with opportunity. For businesses, it lowers training costs and builds competitiveness. For learners, it opens access to accredited qualifications. For communities, it strengthens resilience by circulating new skills. When contributions are recovered and reinvested, SDL becomes a driver of growth, proving compliance can fuel inclusive development.
