Double taxation occurs when multiple nations levy taxes on a single taxpayer pertaining to identical taxable income or capital. Essentially, this implies that the same income is subject to taxation twice: once in the source country where the income originates, and again in the residence country where the income is received. To alleviate the hardship of double taxation for taxpayers, countries offer diverse forms of relief, either through their domestic tax regulations or via tax treaties established with other nations.

 

When in doubt, seek legal advice or consult an experienced ACRA Filing Agent.
