Double Taxation Agreement (DTA)
A treaty between two countries deciding which has primary right to tax cross-border income.
A Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) is a treaty between two countries setting out which has primary right to tax different types of cross-border income. The UK has 130+ DTAs.
Under most DTAs, you claim a foreign tax credit (in the country of residence) for tax paid abroad — preventing double taxation on the same income.
