What is the HRDC Training Levy Refund?
Every registered employer in Mauritius contributes a monthly Training Levy (1% of payroll). The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) manages this fund and allows employers to claim back a portion of approved training costs through the Training Grant System. This means your company can invest in upskilling employees while recovering a significant part of the investment.
Key benefits of the HRDC refund:
- ✔ Recover up to 75% of training costs (90% for AI-focused courses)
- ✔ Reduce the financial burden of staff development
- ✔ Improve team performance and compliance at lower cost
- ✔ DNB handles the paperwork – we guide you through every step
