Thank you for the explanation. I'm still slightly confused - I understood that the Philippines had a global tax system for citizens so, if they were a dual citizen (USA/Philippines) living in the Philippines they would pay taxes on US income in both countries? The quote above states Filipinos abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote above states Filipinos abroad. The Philippines and the US have a tax treaty which should prevent such double taxation. You would only pay tax in both countries that do NOT have such a tax treaty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, whilst the income is subject to tax in both countries, you can offset tax paid in one against the other - makes sense to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
