Working out the amount of assessable foreign income for creditable foreign taxes

Last updated 4 December 2006

Your assessable foreign income for each class is 'grossed up' by the amount of foreign tax credit you can claim for that class of income. A company must also include an amount equal to any credit allowable for foreign underlying tax.

Example 9: Creditable foreign taxes

A company resident in New Zealand pays a dividend of $100 to an Australian resident individual. As New Zealand deducts $15 withholding tax, the taxpayer actually received $85. The taxpayer's assessable foreign income for that dividend will be $100 - that is, the amount of the dividend before the payment of withholding tax.
