12I 12LMCEP S11D
• Extended to 2017
• Budget of R20 billion
not increased
• Only between 15% of
budget remaining until
2017
• Very well managed
incentive with good
turnaround times
• Energy measurement
• Reduction of maximum
project size to R50
million.
• Oversubscribed?
• 18 month turnaround
• Customer service layer

• Rules changes – BEE
level 4
• 150% tax deduction

• Global best practice
• BEPS impact
• Benefit increased from
45 to 95 cents
• Capital incentive?
• Good administrative
system
• benefit too low?
• only available for one
year of energy savings
9. Status of incentive
SEZ
Black
Industrialist
ISP NIPP
• Not effective yet
• IDZ’s to be converted
• 15% corporate tax rate
for 10 years
• New SEZ’s to be set up
and determined
• Regulations to be
finalised
• Single site SEZ’s need to
be considered
• 50% grant
• R10m per annum
• 3 years
• Low approval rate – net
16% to date
• Structure could be
complicated – tax issues
• New BEE rules could
assist
• Countertrade obligation
• For contracts with
government
• Greater than
USD10million imported
content
• Excl Eskom/Transnet
• Police consistently?
• Link with local
procurement
• Target of 100
• 75% black ownership
• In development
• R1 billion budget
• Treatment of current
incentive applicants?
10. Conclusion
What future costs to be incurred in major categories
Need to understand what incentive available – holistic view needed
Most incentives need monitoring to ensure compliance – business needs to comply
BBBEE level key requirement for most grant programmes
Applicants need to understand rules and government priorities
Some programmes need to improve administration to be more effective
Attempt to link industrial financing and incentives – Possible?
Ultimate is to build incentive questions into decision making process – then will make a difference
