The importance of foreign tax credits
Foreign tax credits are often offered as a means to prevent double taxation for expatriates and multinational businesses. Additionally, income tax treaties, totalization agreements and other international tax regulations allow for a means to transfer benefits or credits between their host country and their originating country for things like social security and relief of double taxation. Foreign earned income can also qualify for certain exclusions before an expatriate is required to pay any income taxes.
As an example, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code has a maximum foreign earned income exclusion of $95,100.00 in 2012. Of course, all international tax codes and regulations are subject to change and expert advice should always be sought.
