The Government Rewards
Certain Business Behaviours

Provide employment — there’s an incentive. Invest in training — there’s an incentive. Operate in certain zones — there’s an incentive. Most qualifying businesses never claim a single one. We make sure you do.

Employment Tax Incentive (ETI)

Employ qualifying workers under 30 and receive a direct monthly tax credit of up to R1,500 per employee. The more jobs you create, the more you save — every payroll cycle.

Small Business Corporation Rates

Qualifying SMEs pay significantly lower tax rates than large companies — sometimes as low as 7% on the first band of taxable income. Most eligible owners don’t realise they qualify.

Learnership Allowances

Register a SETA-accredited learnership and deduct an entry allowance AND a completion allowance from taxable income — on top of normal salary costs. It pays to invest in your team.

Urban Development Zone Deductions

Own or improve commercial property in a designated UDZ? Deduct up to 100% of qualifying construction costs. Most property owners in qualifying areas leave this entirely unclaimed.

R&D Tax Incentives

Businesses investing in innovation can deduct 150% of qualifying R&D spend. If you’re developing products, improving systems, or solving technical problems — this likely applies.

What You Don’t Know Costs You

These aren’t loopholes — they’re legislated incentives designed to be used. The barrier isn’t eligibility. It’s knowing exactly how to access them. That’s precisely what we do.

Clarity in Action

A snapshot of what happens when businesses finally get their numbers right.

Mining Sector — Pretoria

“We didn’t realise we qualified for over R400k in incentives.”

A strategic finance review uncovered learnership allowances and ETI credits that had never been claimed. Four months of submissions recovered substantial overpaid tax and reset the business’s financial position entirely.

Retail Business — Gauteng

“First time in three years I actually understand my own numbers.”

The client arrived with no reconciled books and an outstanding SARS debt notice. Within 60 days: compliance backlog resolved, bookkeeping system set up, payment arrangement negotiated. Numbers now clear month by month.

Tech Startup — Cape Town

“Our investor due diligence passed. That’s largely because of SGBS.”

Going into a funding round without clean financials is a deal-killer. SGBS prepared reviewed financial statements and a complete loan application pack that gave investors the confidence to proceed. Round closed successfully.
