The International Tax Law of transactions and events crossing many countries is handled by international tax law. Often called income tax treaties, tax conventions, or double taxation agreements (DTAs), these rules are steered by agreements between states.

Apart from these agreements, national tax legislation specifies which entities are taxed, how foreign income earned by residents is treated, and how local income of non-residents or cross-border transactions is taxed.
