If the corporate tax they paid in a foreign country is lesser than their assessment for Elizian corporate tax liability, they will be liable to pay the difference.
c) Only domestically headquartered corporations will pay corporate tax on their worldwide profits. Foreign corporations will pay tax on domestic profits only.

§3 - Unearned Income Tax
a) The Unearned Income tax shall be levied on all 'unearned income' of individuals at the following marginal rates:

Unearned income between $0-$5,000 per annum shall be taxed at: 19%
Unearned income above $5,000 per annum shall be taxed at: 45%

b) Capital gains from the sale of the main home shall be exempt from Unearned Income Tax, up to a limit of $250,000. The main home shall be defined as an owner-occupied principal residence of the taxpayer in which he or she spends the majority of the tax year living in.
c) Individuals will be considered 'tax-resident' if they are resident in Elizian for at least 183 days per year, and will then be subject to pay Unearned Income Tax on their worldwide taxable income. If they are not 'tax-resident', they will only be liable for Unearned Income Tax on domestically-sourced taxable income.
d) Individuals who are tax-residents of Elizia and earn foreign-sourced taxable income shall be entitled to claim a 'foreign tax credit' for 100% of the corresponding tax they have paid in the foreign country, which can reduce their Elizian tax liability.
