The National Treasury and SARS invites you to comment on the draft legislative amendments to give effect to the two renewable energy tax incentives, announced in the 2023 Budget.

    • These proposals assist in partially addressing the country’s energy crisis and encourage private investment into expanding electricity generation.
    • Expansion of the renewable energy tax incentive
      Under the enhanced renewable energy tax incentive, taxpayers who are conducting businesses will be able to claim a 125% tax deduction (in the first year) for qualifying capital expenditure in respect of all renewable energy projects, with no threshold on generation capacity.The enhanced incentive will be available for a period of two years and apply to investments in renewable energy projects brought into use for the first time on or after 1 March 2023 and before 1 March 2025.
    • Rooftop solar tax incentive
      With respect to the rooftop solar tax incentive, individuals will be able to receive a tax rebate to the value of 25 per cent of the cost of any new and unused solar PV panels, up to a maximum of R15,000.
