What is double taxation and how you can avoid it?
It is not unusual for an individual or a company domiciled in one country to obtain taxable profits (income, profits) in another country. A person may have to pay taxes on these profits locally and also pay taxes in the country where the profits have been made. Due to the unfairness of this, many nations have bilateral double taxation agreements with each other.
In some cases, this agreement requires that the tax be paid in the country of residence, in order to avoid double taxation in the country of origin. In the remaining cases, residents must pay tax in the country where the profits are made (“withholding tax”) and the taxpayer receives a foreign tax credit in the country of residence to reflect the fact that the tax has already been paid. In the former case, the taxpayer must declare (abroad) that he is not resident there.
