3.21 Employment tax incentive (the Employment Tax Incentive Act 26 of
2013) The ETI was introduced by the ETI Act which was promulgated on 18 December 2013. The ETI is an incentive that may be claimed by eligible employers as encouragement to employ – • employees between the ages of 18 and 29 years; • employees of any age employed by an employer that is a “qualifying company” as contemplated in section 12R and renders services to that employer mainly within the SEZ 107 in which the qualifying company that is the employer carries on trade; or • employees of any age in any industry identified by the Minister by notice in the Government Gazette. 106 For more information see the External Guide: Guide for Employers in respect of the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF-GEN-01-GO1) Revision 7 and refer to www.labour.gov.za or www.ufiling.co.za. 107 As defined in section 12R(1). Tax Guide for Small Businesses (2020/2021) 85 Payment of the incentive is effected by eligible employers reducing the PAYE due by the amount of the ETI that may be claimed, provided that the requirements of the ETI Act are met. The ETI is administered by SARS through the PAYE system. PAYE is deducted and withheld from the remuneration of the employees and accounted for to SARS (usually monthly) via the PAYE system. The ETI commenced on 1 January 2014 and will end on 28 February 2029. 108 During this period the employer may claim the ETI for a maximum of 24 individual months per qualifying employee. The ETI is subject to continuous review of its effectiveness and impact in order to determine the extent to which its core objective of reducing youth unemployment is achieved. It applies to qualifying employees employed on or after 1 October 2013 by eligible employers. The Disaster Management Tax Relief Act 13 of 2020 109 introduced temporary amendments to various sections in the ETI Act. The amendments provide only temporary relief 110 and are not dealt with in this guide. The employer is required to perform a monthly calculation to determine the amount of the ETI which may be claimed per qualifying employee. The calculation takes into account – • the monthly remuneration paid to the qualifying employee; • the period for which the qualifying employee is employed; and • the amount or percentage which may be claimed. With effect from 1 August 2019, the ETI Act was amended to align the minimum wage provisions to that of the National Minimum Wage Act 9 of 2018. 111 The table below illustrates how the ETI is calculated in relation to the remuneration received by a qualifying employee.
