How do I know if my country has a tax treaty?

We are happy to help!

First, please note that your country of tax residency (the country of which you can claim a treaty) may be different from your country of citizenship.  For example, if you are a citizen of China but you lived in Canada before entering the U.S., your country of tax residency is Canada and that is the treaty provision that applies to you.

Certain countries have unique treaty provisions.  This document details the treaty provisions for India, China and Canada.
