Avoidance of double taxation

Double taxation agreements

Many types of income can potentially be subject to taxation in more than one country.

In the case of transactions or movement of funds between persons or companies in different countries, national laws and international agreements are therefore both relevant.

These agreements are made directly between the countries concerned, which determine how individual income is taxed.

Therefore, the method of taxation differs not only according to the type of income, but also according to the country in which it was earned.

Tax residency

When it comes to issues relating to the taxation of income earned abroad, the question of tax residency is the most relevant. Establishing it correctly is key to assessing in which country tax will need to be paid.

The rules governing where income is taxed vary from country to country. Different issues need to be analysed in each case.

Unlimited tax liability

The country of tax residence has the right to tax all income earned by a person - regardless of the country in which it was earned.

It is therefore important to use the right methods to avoid double taxation, which will only allow tax to be effectively paid in one country.
