Abstract
Secondary tax on companies (STC) and the new dividends tax and its exemptions therefrom could be in contravention of the non-discrimination provisions of Article 24(5) of the OECD MTC. This question has not been decided in a South African court. This dissertation proposes the resolution to this question. The outcome of this research may be particularly relevant in the context of the proposed new dividends tax and value extraction tax (“VET”) and the exemptions therefrom, which are, again, based on residency.
