My case is likely to be the same as yours as most DTT's are standard. I will pay normal tax on the sale of shares in SA to SARS and get Credit for this in Portugal. As Portuguese tax is a bit higher, I will pay some tax in Portugal.
Once my shares are held for 3 years, then as a non resident in SA, I will pay no CGT in SA but will pay it in Portugal.
Non residents do not pay dividend tax in SA but are liable to pay it in the country of residency.
So whether you paid here makes little diffs as you would have paid it there.
