Skills Development Levy (SDL) South Africa
SDL is a levy imposed to encourage learning and development in South Africa and is determined by an employer’s salary bill. The funds are to be used to develop and improve the skills of employees. SDL is payable by employers, who have been registered. Where an employer expects that the total salaries will be more than R500 000 over the next 12 months, that employer becomes liable to pay SDL. SDL contributions must be paid monthly along with an employer’s PAYE and UIF liabilities when submitting the EMP201.
