Double taxation is a common concern for businesses operating in multiple countries. To alleviate this issue, there is a method known as the foreign tax credit. Essentially, if income is taxed in both the recipient's country and the foreign country, the foreign tax paid can be used as a credit to offset the domestic tax owed. This ensures that the entity's earnings are not excessively taxed and promotes fairness in international taxation. However, this credit is often limited to the amount of domestic tax and cannot be carried over to future years if the foreign tax is higher.
