Double tax relief allocator
See which country taxes an item of income first and where the credit is claimed.
Open calculator39 calculators for the work this desk actually does: deciding which country taxes an item first, testing withholding against a treaty cap, building an arm's length range, and running the United States, Canadian and Emirati mechanics that catch people who have moved. Every one computes from your own figures, in the browser, with nothing sent anywhere.

Which one do you need?
Start from the question rather than the country. If two countries are both taxing the same income, the double tax relief allocator names the one with the first taxing right and the foreign tax credit limit calculator shows how much of the other one's tax you actually get back. If both countries say you live there, the tie-breaker walkthrough works down the ladder in order and prints the record.
If you are selling property across a border, the withholding is almost always on the price rather than the profit — see the section 116 holdback calculator for Canada, the FIRPTA calculator for the United States and the Form 13 estimator for India. All three exist to show the gap and what the certificate is worth.
For a group rather than a person, the transfer pricing set is where the arithmetic is: the arm's length range builder for quartiles, the adjustment exposure model for what a margin gap costs across the open years, and the loan rate builder for pricing intercompany debt from its components.
And if you have moved to the Emirates, start with the honest version of the question: there is no personal income tax there, so the residency exit checker deals with what you still owe where you came from.
Every calculator states its assumptions on screen, prints the year and the source for any figure it prefills, and asks you for anything that could not be verified. When you need the number you will actually file, talk to us — the fee is agreed in writing before the work starts.
Cross-border tax case studies
Case study 1
Indian Rent Collected While Resident Somewhere Else
Rent from Indian property is taxed in India and again where you live, with relief on one side only. The file gets the Indian deduction right first, then claims the credit on the home return against what was actually paid.

Case study 2
A Country-by-Country Report and Who Files It
The obligation sits with the group and the filing can fall on a surrogate where the parent's jurisdiction does not exchange. Establishing who files where comes before preparing anything.
Read how this one runs
Case study 3
A Second Opinion on a Return Already Filed
A cross-border return prepared on one side only is usually right in isolation and wrong in combination. The review checks residence, source and relief in that order, and says plainly whether an amendment is worth making.
Read how this one runs
Case study 4
Social Security Paid Twice Until a Certificate Arrived
Income tax relief does not reach a social security charge; only an agreement does, and only against a certificate from the system actually being paid into. Obtaining it is the work, and it is often retrospective.

Case study 5
The Local File That Has to Match the Accounts
A local file describes the entity's own controlled transactions and ties them to its statutory figures. Where the two do not reconcile, that is what an examiner opens with.
Read how this one runs
Case study 6
Information Returns Missed Behind a Correct Return
The heaviest exposure on a cross-border file is often a disclosure form rather than the tax. Where the return itself was right, the procedures for late information returns turn on a reasonable-cause narrative with dates and documents behind it.
Read how this one runs
Case study 7
A Residency Determination Review After Leaving the Country
Residence is decided on ties, not on a form, and the review asks for evidence of every one of them. The file assembles the ties that were severed and the ones that remained, and answers the questionnaire against the treaty rather than around it.
Read how this one runs
Case study 8
A Certificate Obtained Before the Money Moved
An application for a reduced or nil deduction is made in advance and decided on the computed liability, not on the gross amount. Applying after the payment leaves a refund claim in place of a certificate.

Core International & Cross-Border Tax Services
International Tax Planning & Advisory
Strategy and compliance for income, assets and families spread across borders.
One coordinating team: filings on every side of the border are sequenced so treaty relief and foreign tax credits are claimed once — and in the right country.
U.S. & Cross-Border Tax Returns
Dual filers: U.S. citizens in Canada and Canadians with U.S. income run two parallel systems — we prepare both, in the right order, every year.
Expat & Emigration Tax
The move year is its own project: the elections and valuations filed that year decide the next decade of both countries’ returns.
Non-Resident Canadian Tax
Default withholding is 25% of gross: elective returns routinely turn over-withheld rent and pensions into refunds.
Transfer Pricing & BEPS
Documentation prepared with the return is the cheapest insurance in international tax; reconstructing it during an audit is the most expensive.
Tax Treaties & Withholding
Relief is only as good as the paperwork claiming it — we build treaty positions that survive review on both sides.
Cross-Border Estates & Trusts
Wills drafted for one country routinely misfire in the other — deemed disposition here, estate tax there, credits in between.
Global Investments & Reporting
Information returns carry the sharpest penalties — $25 a day whether or not any tax is owing. We keep them clean and on time.
Cross-Border Corporate Tax
Expansion raises the same four questions every time — entity, PE, repatriation, payroll. We answer them before the tax authorities do.
India Tax for NRIs & Returning Residents
The deduction is taken on the sale price, not the gain — which is why an NRI property sale strands cash unless the certificate is applied for before closing.
Canadian Tax with a Foreign Element
Residency is decided on facts, not on a form — and the year you arrive or leave is the one where the largest amounts turn on the smallest details.
UAE Tax for Expats & Their Home Country
A zero-tax country is only half the answer — the question that decides the bill is whether the country you came from still treats you as resident.

Professional Services Firms
Firms and partners working across borders meet Regulation 105 withholding, PE risk on long engagements and per-country payroll for travelling staff.
A partnership is taxed in the hands of its partners, so one engagement abroad can reach every partner's personal return. The order matters: the waiver is applied for before the invoice, the presence is tracked before it becomes an establishment, and the payroll is registered before the first day worked in the other country.
