TAX Benefits
Learnership Tax Allowance: Companies can claim a tax deduction for expenses incurred in running learnerships. This includes the costs associated with training, stipends or allowances paid to learners, and assessment fees.
Section 12H Tax Allowance: Companies can claim an additional tax allowance for employing qualifying employees who have completed learnerships. The allowance is calculated based on the duration of the learnership and the employment period after completion.
Employment Tax Incentive (ETI): The ETI is a tax incentive aimed at encouraging companies to employ young people. Employers can claim a monthly reduction in their Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) liability for a certain period for eligible employees who have completed a learnership.
Skills Development Levy (SDL) Rebates: Employers pay SDL, but they may be eligible for SDL rebates when they meet certain criteria, including running learnerships. These rebates help offset the cost of the SDL paid.
It's important to note that specific rules and criteria apply to each of these tax benefits, and it's advisable to consult with a tax professional or the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for accurate and up-to-date information on eligibility and how to claim these benefits.

Theory and practical components: Learnerships combine classroom or off-site training with on-the-job practical experience. This allows learners to apply their knowledge in a real work environment.
Accredited qualifications: Learnerships lead to nationally recognized qualifications upon successful completion. These qualifications can range from a certificate to a diploma, depending on the level and complexity of the learnership.
Workplace mentorship: Learnerships involve the guidance and mentorship of experienced employees or trainers within the workplace. This helps learners develop practical skills and gain valuable industry insights.
Duration: Learnerships have a specified duration, typically ranging from a few months to a couple of years. The duration is determined by the complexity of the qualification and the skills required.
SETA involvement: Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) are responsible for overseeing and accrediting learnerships. They provide guidelines, quality assurance, and often financial support for learnerships in their respective sectors.
Learnerships are open to individuals of various backgrounds, including school leavers, unemployed individuals, and employees seeking to upskill or reskill. Learners receive a stipend or allowance during their learnership, which helps support their financial needs during the training period.
