The advantages and disadvantages of tax exemption:

There is no need for a tax exemption for the imported goods. p>Tax Exemption Advantages and Disadvantages:

I. Advantages

1. International double taxation can be completely eliminated.

2. When the tax rate of the source country is lower than the tax rate of the residence country, the residence country adopts the tax exemption method, which enables the taxpayers to actually enjoy the benefits given by the source country.

3. In terms of tax administration, it is simple and easy to implement.

2. Disadvantages

1. The tax exemption method is based on the residence country giving up the right to tax the foreign income of its residents, so that the interests of the residence country are jeopardized. It should take into account the interests of the source country, the country of residence, and the taxpayer.

2. If the State of residence exempts its residents from taxation on their foreign income when the tax rate of the State of source is lower than that of the State of residence, the tax burden on the income earned outside the State of residence is lower than that on the same income earned within the State of residence. This is inconsistent with the principle of equity.

It can also lead to the abnormal transfer of domestic capital and profits to countries with low tax burdens or tax havens. In practice, fewer countries have adopted this method.
