It is considered normal for a business or individual who is residing in one country to make a taxable gain (earnings, profits) in another country. This person often finds
himself obliged by domestic laws to pay tax on the gain in another country locally, and pay again in the country in which the gain was made. Since this often results in losses and comes across as an unethical practice, many nations make bilateral Double taxation agreements with each other.

Conventionally, this requires taxes to be paid in the country of residence and be exempted in the country in which it arises. In order to do this, the taxpayer must declare himself (in the foreign country) to be a non-resident there. Therefore the second aspect of the agreement is that the two taxation authorities must exchange information about such declarations, so as to be able to investigate any anomalies that might indicate an attempt to evade taxes.
