The Double Tax Agreement (DTA) between South Africa and Zimbabwe entered into force on 1 December 2016, following publication in the Official Gazette of the Republic of South Africa on 27 January 2017. The agreement will be applied from 1 January 2017 in South Africa and from 1 February 2017 in Zimbabwe for withholding taxes. But in South Africa it will be applied from 1 March 2017 for other than withholding taxes. The new double tax agreement replaces the treaty 1965 between these two countries.
