Cross-Border Worker Withholding Tax on Social Welfare Benefit Dispute
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case concerned a cross-border worker (frontalier) claiming a refund of withholding tax levied on a social welfare benefit received under a domestic law, arguing that the imposition was contrary to the provisions of the applicable international tax treaty concerning income from employment and social security benefits. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the treaty's provisions explicitly allowed the state of residence to tax the taxpayer on income not otherwise taxable in the state of source, and therefore, the levy of withholding tax by the source state on the welfare payment, which was not explicitly covered or exempted by the treaty in a manner permitting exclusive taxation by the residence state, was in conformity with the treaty obligations.
