Introduction to EMIA Scheme
Background
EMIA stands for Export Marketing and Investment Assistance and this is a incentive scheme introduced and administered by Government (or more specifically the Department of Trade and Industry - thedti). The purpose of assistance under the EMlA scheme is to partially compensate exporters for costs incurred in respect of activities aimed at developing export markets for South African products and services abroad, and to recruit new foreign direct investment and potential customers into South Africa.
Any assistance provided under the EMIA schemes is at the absolute discretion of the Deputy Director-General of Trade and Investment South Africa (TAISA) whose decision will be final. No EMIA incentives are available for the period from 10 December up to and including 10 January of each year.
EMIA is broadly divided into two types, individual participation schemes and group schemes.
