SARS giveth and SARS taketh away

The alarmingly high unemployment rate in South Africa has given rise to several tax incentives for employers to grow their workforces. One of these is the Employment Tax Incentive (ETI) contained in the ETI Act 26 of 2013 (ETI Act).

The environmental (and other) legislative transitions to a low-carbon economy in South Africa

South Africa is currently enjoying a much welcomed and extended reprieve from the effects of load shedding. While there is speculation that this is merely a politically motivated state of affairs, experts suggest that the increase in solar installations at household and business levels has resulted in a significant decrease in Eskom-generated energy demand, as 2,1GW of solar has been installed in the last 12 months. Furthermore, Ember Energy estimates that solar energy contributed 10,4% to South Africa’s electricity mix in February 2024. South Africa has committed to moving towards a low-carbon economy, and the recent expansion of renewable energy installations can be seen as a significant contribution towards this goal. The transition towards a low-carbon economy cannot be achieved without the reform of enablinglegislation.
