Foreign Tax Relief

« Back to Glossary Index

Foreign tax relief is a general term for the ways the UK tax system helps you avoid paying tax twice on the same foreign income. It can include foreign tax credits, Double Taxation Agreements, or specific exemptions. The type and amount of relief you can claim depends on where your income is from and how much tax you’ve already paid elsewhere.
