How the system calculates the Skills Development Levy (SDL) amount on Sage VIP Classic and Sage VIP Premier.
SDL remuneration (leviable amount)
The leviable amount is based on the balance of remuneration, excluding:
- pensions, superannuation allowances or retiring allowances
- annuities
- retirement fund savings withdrawal
- payments for the relinquishment, termination or loss of office or employment
- lump sum payments from a pension, provident or retirement annuity fund
NOTE:
The system only excludes lump sums from benefit funds. It doesn't exclude lump sums related to ongoing employment, such as backdated pay increases
Skill Development Levy
Employers pay the Skills Development Levies monthly for all employees to SARS at a rate of 1% of the leviable amount.
