Tax Credit
Simple Definition
A direct reduction of taxes or refund, most commonly from "Verrechnungssteuer" (Withholding on Dividends).
Why this matters to Expats.
If you declared your bank accounts and dividends correctly, you get 35% of the gross dividend back as a credit. It often appears as a payout or reduction on your final tax bill.
