  • Foreign Tax Credit Relief reduced to maximum allowable

    Hi Just trying to complete my sons first Tax return . He just started his career as a professional sportsman and has earnt some money in 13 countries - all have a DTA with the UK - as well as in the UK. On looking at the View your Calculations section, his foreign tax paid amount has been reduced to match the tax he owes . There appears to be a maximum allowable . For example if he paid £4K in foreign tax but only owed £3k tax after allowances etc then the max allowable would be £3K - is this how this works ?
