🔎 What is a Tax Treaty?
👉 A tax treaty is a formal agreement established between two countries with the primary purpose of preventing the same income from being taxed twice. This type of treaty ensures that individuals or businesses earning income in both countries are not subjected to double taxation, which can occur when both countries claim the right to tax the same income.
