   First you need to explain the situation more clearly.   
      
   Generally you don't "deduct" anything from foreign income.   
   That is normally done by whoever is paying you before you   
   receive it, and then you claim credit for taxes already   
   paid (deducted), even though they were paid to the the foreign government.   
   This usually works out to about a 50/50 split of the actual   
   tax between the two governments, but details vary based on the   
   particular tax treaty.
