What is a Foreign Tax Credit (FTC)?
A Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) allows businesses and individuals earning income from foreign sources to claim credits for the taxes paid to foreign countries. This credit helps reduce the amount of corporate tax you need to pay in the UAE and prevents double taxation on the same income.
FTC Eligibility and Compliance
To be eligible for the foreign tax credit in the UAE, you must provide certain information, including:
- The total income earned from the foreign country
- The total amount of taxes paid to that foreign country
- The name of the country where the taxes were paid
The amount of FTC you can claim depends on two key factors:
- The amount of tax you paid in the foreign country
- The corporate tax you are required to pay on your foreign income in the UAE
You will be able to claim a tax credit based on whichever amount is lower—either the foreign tax paid or the corporate tax owed in the UAE. Keep in mind that the FTC in the UAE can only be used once and cannot be carried forward for future tax deductions.
