| South Africa's DTAs With Mexico, Rwanda Become Effective |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Wednesday, September 01, 2010
The bilateral double taxation agreements (DTAs) completed by South Africa with
Mexico and Rwanda have both been passed by parliament and entered into force
recently, the South African Revenue Service announced on August 31.
The DTA with Mexico, which was signed on February 19, 2009, became effective
on July 22, and will apply to all taxes after January 1, 2011. Those taxes in
Mexico are the federal income tax and the business flat rate tax, while the
South African taxes subject to the agreement are the normal tax, the secondary
tax on companies, the withholding tax on royalties and the tax on foreign entertainers
and sportspersons.
The DTA with Rwanda, which was signed on December 5, 2002, became effective
on August 3, and will also apply to all taxes after January 1, 2011. The subject
taxes in Rwanda are the direct taxes on profits and professional income
and any withholding tax‚ prepayment or advance payment with respect to
those taxes, while the South African taxes are as in the DTA with Mexico, minus
the tax on foreign entertainers and sportspersons.
Both agreements also cover the profits arising from shipping and air transport
operations; the taxation of dividends, interest, royalties, capital gains and
pensions; and the exchange of tax information.
