Your starting point

Create a clear record of dates, income and countries involved. Use official tax guidance and qualified advice to establish what applies to you.

Cross-border income should be assessed by category and country, with any treaty read in context. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.

Work through the decision

Foreign Income and Double Taxation — a diagram of the key planning steps
Planning diagram. The same steps are described in the text below.
01

Map each income stream

Record payer, source country, amount, currency and tax withheld.

02

Check the framework

Use competent tax advice to establish residence, treaty treatment and reporting obligations.

03

Avoid blanket assumptions

A treaty does not automatically mean no tax or no filing in either country.

Adapt this to your circumstances

Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.

Sources and checks

Tax Authority — buying a home: IMT and stamp duty — an official starting point for this topic. The relevant page, its scope and effective date must be checked before a consequential decision.

No market prices, eligibility thresholds or legal deadlines have been invented for this guide. Dates in personal planning tools are suggestions or values you supply.
