"This agreement puts Liechtenstein firmly on the road to international cooperation on fiscal matters," Prime Minister Klaus Tschutscher said in a statement released from Vaduz on Wednesday.
The accord with South Africa involves the exchange of information between each country's tax authorities, the statement continued.
A separate agreement concluded with the Gulf kingdom concerned double taxation, Liechtenstein authorities said, in a further sign that the
principality is keen to boost its image as a more transparent tax haven.
In March 2009, Liechtenstein agreed to follow banking transparency standards laid down by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but it still remains on the OECD's tax haven "grey list".
