Formula
How the calculation works
Taxable income is the annual income minus the exemption threshold, never below zero.
Home tax is that taxable income at the home rate, and the foreign tax credit is the smaller of the tax already paid abroad and the home tax.
Net payable is the home tax minus the credit, which is why paying tax abroad reduces, but does not always cancel, the home bill.
Common mistakes
- Expecting the foreign tax to cancel the home tax entirely: the credit is capped at the home tax, and only for the same income.
- Using the gross income where the form asks for the exemption-adjusted taxable income.
When to use it
- Use it to estimate what is still owed at home after tax already paid abroad.
- It is not tax advice; the actual credit depends on the treaty and the rules of both countries.
Worked example
On 1,200,000 income with a 350,000 exemption at 15%, the home tax is 127,500; a 50,000 foreign tax credit leaves 77,500 payable.
Common questions
Can the foreign tax credit be more than the home tax?
No, relief is capped at the home tax on that income, so it cannot create a refund.
Do I need a tax residency certificate?
Most countries ask for proof of foreign tax paid and residency before allowing the credit.
