It now seems to be common cause that the turnover threshold in determining an EME will be raised from the current R300k/annum (staff complement will in all likelihood be removed). Speculation is rife as to what the new threshold will be.
SABC News reported on Monday that it could go up to as much as R5 million (I got this information from Hennie Uys from BEEonline, thanks Hennie). The guys from BEEMatrix told us that they had read in the Beeld that the threshold could be R5million. The same article suggests that the dti has been listening to business as well in determining the new BEE targets!
Die aanduidings is dat die finale SEB-kodes heelwat voorstelle uit die sakesektor, soos dat klein ondernemings (omset van minder as R5 miljoen per jaar) heeltemal vrygestel word, gaan bevat.
We debated this threshold with Obed de Swardt and Henk Koekemoer of BEEMatrix at length on Friday afternoon - we all seem to agree that the R5million threshold is a touch high. Perhaps it should be set at R2million.
