Frequently Asked Questions

Moulder Skills Development facilitates the completion, submission, and claims process in full compliance with legislative requirements.

Why outsource it to you if we can do it ourselves?

We cost a fraction of what it would cost to employ a Skills Development Facilitator full-time or even part-time. For instance, let’s say you pay between R2000 and R5000 per month on SDL. That means you are entitled to a 50% rebate of between R1000 and R2500. The going rate for a qualified SDF is between R15000 and R25000 per month. There would be no financial advantage, in fact you would end up losing. Our rate is only 20% of your SDL, which means you would save 30% tax free and everything would be done professionally.

If you are not satisfied with the quality of our work, you can get rid of us in a heartbeat, whereas if you employed someone it isn’t quite that easy.

These are the main reasons why our clients, including big corporates like Isuzu South Africa, have decided to rather outsource it to us: professional, experienced and cost-effective.

Can you get anything back?

You can claim back up to 70% of the SDL paid by participating in skills development initiatives and submitting a Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) and Annual Training Report (ATR) to your relevant SETA.

What is the criteria to be able to claim?

  • You have to up to date with your Skills Development levy.
  • You have to appoint a registered Skills Development Facilitator (SDF).
  • You have to provide proof of training (internal or external).
  • You Have to submit a Workplace Skills Plan to your relevant SETA.
  • You have to submit an Annual Training Report to the Dept of Labour. 

What do we need to do?

All you have to do is keep a record of training. For in house training, a training register must be completed and signed by employees. For external training eg, an employee attends a course at a training facility, a copy of an invoice, certificate, attendance register etc. This must be given to us to complete your Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training report. 

What are your costs?

Our fees are determined on 20% of the amount that you pay on SDL. For example, if you pay R1000 per month, our fee would be R200 per month. We then claim back 50%, in other words, R 500, which means that after you have deducted our cost you still end up saving 30% or R 300 per month. It may not sound like much, but over the years it adds up to quite a lot.

Can we do it ourselves?

Yes, you can. You can submit the Workplace Skills Plan and Annual Training Report yourself, but to claim the rebate you need to appoint a Skills Development Facilitator.

Why do we have to pay SDL?

The SDL Act is there to develop and ensure that South Africa has adequatly  trained people to provide the services that you and I deliver. It is in the interest of every single business in South Africa that our economy develops and grows. The more skilled workers we have, the more jobs are created through foreign investment, which in turn has a trickle down effect which benefits each and every South African. More jobs mean less crime and poverty. you will be playing a very important role in saving our country.

Will we receive our money?

Yes. The SDL Act guarantees it. If you adhere to the criteria that is required by your relevant SETA you have to be compensated. They don’t have a choice. It is a mandatory grant.
