B-BBEE
We understand B-BBEE and can provide the best tailor-made solution within your budget.
Broad-based black economic empowerment (BEE) is a Government initiative to advance economic transformation and participation of Black people in the South African economy.
B-BBEE is governed by the following:
The Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 (as amended);
The generic Codes of Good Practice on Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BEE Codes). The revisions to the 2007 version of the BEE Codes were issued on 11 October 2013 and came into force on 1 May 2015; and
Certain sector-specific Codes of Good Practice (Sector Codes). An entity operating in a sector with a Sector Code will be governed by that Sector Code and not the BEE Codes.
A number of the existing Sector Codes are based on the Original Codes but it is intended to revise all of the Sector Codes with the BEE Codes.
The BEE Codes contain a BEE scorecard with five elements. A company is measured against the scorecard in order to determine its BEE score. Skills Development is one of the elements to improve the BBBEE scorecard of a company. A company can obtain 20 points for skills development.
However, this element can be the most expensive element which can have a significant influence on the cashflow of any company.
We have experienced accountants and tax practitioners whose responsibility is to work with you to structure the skills development spent within the SARS parameters so that you can have the maximum benefits.
