If the amount of credit-eligible foreign income tax which a Nonresident with a permanent establishment has to pay in any year exceeds the sum total of the maximum credit for the year and the amount specified by Cabinet Order as the maximum credit for local taxes, and part of the maximum credit in any of the three years prior to the relevant year (referred to as "any of the last three years" in the following paragraph) is an amount prescribed by Cabinet Order as being carried over to the relevant year (hereinafter referred to as the "maximum carry-over credit" in this paragraph), the amount by which the former exceeds the latter is credited against the income tax for the year pursuant to Cabinet Order, up to the maximum carry-over credit.

If the amount of credit-eligible foreign income tax which a Nonresident with a permanent establishment has to pay in any year is less than the maximum credit for the year, and part of the amount of credit-eligible foreign income tax that the Nonresident has had to pay in any of the last three years constitutes an amount prescribed by Cabinet Order as being carried over to the relevant year (hereinafter referred to as "carry-over, credit-eligible foreign income taxes" in this paragraph), the carry-over, credit-eligible foreign income taxes are credited against the income tax for the year pursuant to Cabinet Order, up to the amount remaining when the amount of credit-eligible foreign income tax that the Nonresident has to pay in that year is deducted from the maximum credit.

恒久的施設を有する非居住者が各年において納付することとなる控除対象外国所得税の額がその年の控除限度額に満たない場合において、その前三年以内の各年において納付することとなつた控除対象外国所得税の額のうちその年に繰り越される部分として政令で定める金額(以下この項において「繰越控除対象外国所得税額」という。)があるときは、政令で定めるところにより、当該控除限度額からその年において納付することとなる控除対象外国所得税の額を控除した残額を限度として、その繰越控除対象外国所得税額をその年分の所得税の額から控除する。
