How the Foreign Income Tax Offset (FITO) Protects You

The primary goal of FITO is to prevent double taxation. As an Australian resident, you're taxed on your worldwide income. FITO provides a credit for foreign tax you've already paid, ensuring fairness.

  • Declare Worldwide Income

    You must declare all income, including what you earned overseas, on your Australian tax return.

  • Claim a Credit

    FITO reduces your Australian tax liability by the amount of foreign tax paid, up to the amount of Australian tax that would be payable on that income.

  • Avoid Double Taxation

    The offset ensures you don't pay tax twice on the same dollar earned.

Foreign income tax flow: Foreign Income → Foreign Tax Paid → FITO Credit → Reduced Australian Tax Bill
