Much of our incentives work focuses on the motor industry, specifically the Automotive Production and Development Programme (APDP) - the biggest and most successful programme of its kind in South Africa.

At the same time, our expertise extends to other incentive programmes, available across various sectors including: automotive, manufacturing, clothing and textile, technology and various export markets.

Automotive Incentives

The APDP is an incentive programme available to the automotive manufacturing industry based on production value add. These incentives are available to OEMs, component and tooling manufacturers. The benefit is a tradeable certificate called a Production Rebate Certificate (PRC), which can be used to claim and/or offset the duties payable on automotive imports.

DG Capital facilitates:
  • Trading of PRCs within the APDP.
  • Innovative funding solutions for buyers of PRCs.
  • A complete administration function surrounding the APDP claims process.
