No more double taxation for Zimbabweans working in SA

Government has gazetted a Statutory Instrument (SI) to stop double taxation of Zimbabweans living and working in South Africa or South Africans working in Zimbabwe.

The provision was gazetted last Friday.

Part of the SI reads: "Subject to the provisions of article 16, 18 and 19, salaries, wages and other similar remunerations derived by a resident of a contracting State in respect of an employment shall be taxable only in that State unless the employment is exercised in other contracting State."

The proposed law is yet to be tabled before Parliament for approval although it has come into effect on a temporary basis until the lapse of six months.
