The OECD has announced that the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) signed the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent BEPS (MLI) on 19 September 2024. According to the DRC's provisional list of reservations and notifications, the DRC intends to have the MLI cover its tax treaties with Belgium and South Africa. For the MLI to become effective for a particular treaty, both parties to a treaty must have included the treaty as a covered agreement, and both must have completed the required procedures for the ratification of the MLI.
