Tax Sparing Credit Law and Legal Definition
Tax Sparing Credit is a term used to denote a special form of double taxation relief in tax treaties with developing countries. Where a country grants tax incentives to encourage foreign investment and that company is a resident of another country with which a tax treaty has been concluded, the other country may give a credit against its own tax for the tax which the company would have paid if the tax had not been "spared" under the provisions of the tax incentives.
