Taxpayers are allowed to credit foreign taxes paid on income earned outside Iran against the Iranian tax liability, which is limited to the amount of Iranian tax applicable on such foreign income. If a taxpayer receives income from a country with which Iran has entered into a double tax treaty, then the tax treaty relief may apply, if it is more beneficial to the taxpayer.
