Key facts

  • The Ministry hosts the official list and full texts of treaties in force, which the Tax and Customs Board points to.
  • Treaties in preparation include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Morocco, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Tajikistan and a new treaty with the United Kingdom; the table may be partly out of date.
  • The multilateral instrument (MLI) can modify bilateral treaties, and the Ministry publishes synthesised texts showing the amended treaties.

Steps

  1. Determining DTT Applicability — To determine if a DTT applies, the relevant treaty must be identified, and the specific conditions for exemption or reduction must be met. The process can be complex and may require consulting with a tax professional.
