The Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) and Protocols that are already in force, have been divided into two groups to make navigation easier, i.e.- - [Africa](https://www.sars.gov.za/legal-counsel/international-treaties-agreements/double-taxation-agreements-protocols/dtas-and-protocols-africa/) - [Rest of the world](https://www.sars.gov.za/legal-counsel/international-treaties-agreements/double-taxation-agreements-protocols/dtas-and-protocols-rest-of-the-world/) The navigation pane above can be used to access the texts of the relevant agreements. For a full status on all the DTAs and Protocols, whether they are still under negotiation, already signed, but not ratified in one of the member states, or whether they are in force, we include a status overview document below.
