Navigating local taxation laws while earning income abroad as a student requires understanding tax residency rules. Determine if your host country taxes residents on worldwide income or only locally earned income. Many countries have double taxation agreements (DTAs) to prevent being taxed twice.
Keep records of income, expenses, and tax documents. File necessary returns in both countries if required. Consult a tax professional familiar with international student taxation to ensure compliance. Some countries offer exemptions or reduced rates for students. Research local tax treaties and deadlines to avoid penalties.
