SPECIAL FEATURE
Manufacturing
Key components of the incentive
programme are the Manufacturing
Incentive Programme
(MIP) and the Manufacturing
Competitiveness Enhancement
Programme (MCEP). The initial
MCEP, launched in 2012,
was so successful that it was
oversubscribed with almost 890
businesses receiving funding.
A second phase of the programme
was launched in 2016. The grants are
not handouts as the funding covers a maximum
of 50% of the cost of the investment, with the
remainder to be sourced elsewhere.
The Enterprise Investment Programme (EIP)
makes targeted grants to stimulate and promote
investment, BEE and employment creation in the
manufacturing and tourism sectors.
Aimed at smaller companies, the maximum
grant is R30-million. Specific tax deductions are
permissible for larger companies investing in the
manufacturing sector under Section 12i of the
Income Tax Act.
Other incentives
Other incentives that are available to investors as
well as existing businesses in more than one sector
include the following:
• Technology and Human Resources for Industry
Programme (THRIP)
• Support Programme for Industrial Innovation (SPII)
• Black Business Supplier Development Programme
(BBSDP), which is a cost-sharing grant offered to
black-owned small enterprises
• Critical Infrastructure Programme (CIP) that covers
between 10% and 30% of the total development
costs of qualifying infrastructure
• Co-operative Incentive Scheme, which is a
90:10 matching cash grant for registered primary
co-operatives
• Sector Specific Assistance Scheme, which is a
reimbursable 80:20 cost-sharing grant that can be
applied for by export councils, joint action groups
and industry associations.
