About this lesson
This means that when a treaty exists, you don't need to calculate double taxation relief—the treaty rules determine which country taxes the profit. For your exam, the key takeaway is straightforward: you'll rarely need detailed knowledge of treaty mechanics. Most questions will either state that no treaty exists (in which case you calculate double taxation relief as normal) or specify the treaty rules you need to apply. Understanding this framework helps you quickly identify which approach to use when tackling overseas income questions.
