(o)
Deduction for expenditure incurred in exchange for issue of venture capital company shares (section 12J) Section 12J allows a deduction from the income of a taxpayer of expenditure actually incurred in a year of assessment in acquiring venture capital shares issued to that taxpayer, if specified requirements have been met. 24 This deduction aims to encourage investors to invest in approved venture capital companies (VCCs), which in turn, invest in qualifying companies. A claim for a deduction must be supported by a certificate issued by the approved VCC. 25 (p) Deduction in respect of energy-efficiency savings (section 12L) A taxpayer may claim a deduction for savings derived from implementing energy-efficient methods that result from activities performed in the carrying on of any trade and in the production of income. Section 12L became effective on 1 November 2013 and applies to years of assessment ending before 1 January 2023. The deduction is calculated at 95 cents per kilowatt hour or kilowatt hour equivalent of energy- efficiency savings. No deduction will be allowed if the taxpayer receives any concurrent benefit in respect of energy-efficiency savings. A taxpayer claiming a deduction must obtain a certificate issued by the South African National Energy Development Institute 26 in respect of the energy efficiency savings in respect of that year of assessment. 27 (q) Deduction of medical lump sum payments (section 12M) A taxpayer will be allowed to deduct from income derived from carrying on a trade, a lump sum payment – • to any former employee of the taxpayer who has retired from the taxpayer’s employ on grounds of old age, ill health or infirmity or to a dependant of that former employee; or • under a policy of insurance taken out with an insurer solely in respect of one or more former employees or dependants mentioned above, but only to the extent that the amount is paid for the purposes of making any contribution, in respect of any former employee or dependant referred to above, to a medical scheme or fund contemplated in section 6A(2)(a)(i) or (ii). 23 For more information see Interpretation Note 86 “Additional Investment and Training Allowances for Industrial Policy Projects”. 24 No deduction shall be allowed under section 12J for shares acquired after 30 June 2021. 25 For more information see the Guide on Venture Capital Companies and the External Guide: Venture Capital Companies (GEN-REG-48-G01). 26 Established under section 7 of the National Energy Act 34 of 2008. 27 For more information see Interpretation Note 95 “Deduction for Energy-Efficiency Savings”. |
