The actual tax treatment of foreign source capital income is quite complex. There exist many other sources of distortion than can be described in a stylized theoretical framework. The efforts by countries to relieve double taxation of foreign source income are often incomplete and asymmetric across income types. The tax treatment of multinationals is extremely complicated, influencing both their real and financial behavior. The existence of alternative forms of international capital flows creates additional complications. Foreign direct investment faces a very different statutory tax treatment than foreign portfolio investment. The role of tax treaties and investment incentives in attracting foreign investment is not as clear as generally perceived. The rest of the paper addresses practical aspects of taxing international capital income.
The organization of the paper is as follows: Section 1 analyzes the basic principles of tax neutrality in the presence of international capital mobility. The most standard practices of taxing foreign source income are summarized in section 2. Section 3 discusses various tax effects on international investment and financial behavior, while their implications for Korean tax policy are presented in section 4.
