Foreign tax credit - foreign tax credit

Japanese: 外国税額控除 - がいこくぜいがくこうじょ
Foreign tax credit - foreign tax credit
<br /> To adjust for double taxation both in Japan and abroad, the amount of tax levied abroad is deducted. When investing in foreign securities, taxes on interest, dividends, etc. are levied abroad, and when the investor receives these, they are also levied in Japan. In other words, double taxation occurs, so to adjust for this, a "foreign tax credit" has been established that allows a certain amount of foreign tax paid when filing a tax return in Japan to be deducted from income tax and resident tax.

Japanese:

外国と日本国内で二重に課税されることを調整するため、外国で課税された税額を控除すること。外国の証券へ投資した場合、利子・配当等に係る税金は外国で課税され、さらに投資家がこれを受け取ると日本国内でも課税される。すなわち二重課税されることになるので、これを調整するため、国内で確定申告を行う際に支払った外国税のうち一定額を、所得税や住民税から控除する「外国税控除」が設けられている。
