To improve productivity in the workplace and the competitiveness of employers and to promote self-employment. Skills Development Levies are levies 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 skills of employees. Companies with a payroll that exceeds R500 000 00 are legislated by law to pay a 1% skills levy.
