The Federal Foreign Non-Business Income Tax Credit provides Canadian residents and authorized foreign banks with a tax credit to prevent double taxation on non-business income earned and taxed in foreign countries, such as dividends, interest, and capital gains. There is no specified maximum funding amount, as the credit is applied to reduce Part I tax based on the amount of eligible foreign non-business income tax paid.

You may deduct non-business foreign income tax instead of claiming the credit under subsection 20(12).
Calculations must be performed separately for each country; use additional Schedules if necessary.
