Definition and Examples
- Definition
- International Trade Tax Payment covers revenue received by the government from the purchase and sale of foreign exchange at different rates, when the government exercises monopoly powers to extract a margin between the purchase and sales price, other than to cover administrative costs. This revenue constitutes a compulsory levy exacted from both purchasers and sellers of foreign exchange and is equivalent to import and export duties in a single exchange rate system. It also includes profits of export or import monopolies and other taxes specifically levied on international trade or transactions.
