As I understand it, the US is the only country that taxes you on income abroad. So why would there be double taxation elsewhere?

- gamblor956 12y agoMore than 2 dozen countries, including China, tax their citizens and permanent residents on their worldwide income. However, as a practical matter only the U.S. actually attempts to enforce its income tax laws on a worldwide basis. The U.S. and China both offer an expatriate exemption (first $100k in income for the US) and foreign tax credits against U.S./China taxes for local country income taxes paid.
