Certain double taxation agreements with developing countries provide for 'tax sparing'. Tax sparing preserves taxation incentives which are provided by a treaty partner to promote economic development. If tax sparing applies to a tax incentive, you can claim a credit for tax foregone by a treaty partner under the incentive. The double taxation agreements list the taxes for which tax sparing is provided.
