What's new

Tax imposed on IT freelancers 1% for filers and 2% for non filers

The health cards is a great example.
Sad Sindh ppl don't have health card, instead they have benazir income support where even judges are registered to grab money.

So basically this tax system in pakistan has way for the corrupt to live on the money of common man on the taxes common man pays.

Majority freelancers hire PayPal services. Which store their month long payments and release at once. So for every gig fiverr deduct 20% and remaining is transferred to that PayPal account. I consider a freelancer successfull if he earn $1000 post deduction in a month. $15 on transfer of that whole amount still means $985. 1% on that is how much ? $9.85 ? So that freelancer is does because he have to pay $10 more per month ?
Why you charging $10 per month only and leaving transfer $15 aside and 20% fiver gig? bringing dollar in country itself is a service to country. Don't you think?

Hain ???? I did not leave $15 transfer fee (Which is one time as majority of freelancers have acquired PayPal services and only transfer amount to local banks once a month), neither did I leave 20% fiver commission as I said " I consider a freelancer successful if he make $1000 post deduction". The word post deduction was specifically used for the 20% fiver commission. The $10 was the overall monthly impact due on freelancer earnings due to this 1% tax.

Khair, I don't know how to convince someone when it is clearly proved that

1. He have comprehension issues and find it difficult to read.

2. Who consider 1% too much while pay 20% to others. ( It's same as someone spending 20 dollars on a friend while think family member should not even ask for 1 dollar as he is already paying too much. Refering to the $20 )

They will give 20% cut to fiverr but wont give a single penny to its own government in form of Taxes. And than our mango man want facilities provided to citizens by countries like UK and USA.


fivvr helps you find work , it connects buyer and seller of services, perfectly legit cut of 20%

besides, any income ( IT free lance etc ) you earn abroad is not taxable per se , its a remittance

Well, it's something complicated. They work here. It's just like Call centers. Services are provided here but they are meant for other countries. Someone know if India Tax Call centers. ?

acha tou phir govt se pouchna tha why they were asking to send money using pakpost. Ghar ghar pohcha rahay thai free of cost if hundi were bring the dollars using proper banking channels

hein?? So if he spends $20 dollar so he should spend 1% whatever he earns extra leaving a question behind that you are placing more burden on him.

As per your reply.

Fiver earning $1000 without comission

20% fiver comission on $1000 =$200

Fiver comission 20% + 1% (govt)+ $15 = $225

Todays rate of dollars is 166 if we take making $225 equals to 37,000 pakistani rupees monthly.
So every freelancer on fiverr who earns $1000 has to give out 37,000, Yearly around 4,44,000.

Please Do let me know if above calculation is correct.


If this taxes are not an issue then dont know why companies looks for more profit, subsidies and even move from pakistan looking for tax free countries or lowest tax countries.

Moreover, it was exempted till 2025. Till yesterday govt was saying bring dollars into country and now you are giving message that we dont need dollars we are super rich and if you bring dollars in our rich country you have to provide source, tons of proof to satisfy otherwise take your dollars somehwere else like UAE or UK.
thread starter hates sadaqat and amanat.
sayen tou sayen, sayen ka reply bhi sayen lol

thats correct it was consider remittance and should consider remittance under section 114a I think. They can not ask source of income under 114a. Even they made section 65c that exempt is replaced into tax credit.

they still left 114a where you only need to provide PRC for your remittance from bank.

So it's khichri.

Not really. You do it for your own pocket.

@RealNapster I agree and willing to pay tax but what was committed to it freelancers is they were exempted till 2025 so every one knew. 1% is not much and everyone is willing to pay but what was committed should have been kept. And I.t freelance should be promoted to walas living in villages and cities. And not tiktok

and I am not on fiverr just to let you know. This thread is not for fight but to help freelancer in anyway. This tax is may be just start then they will go for sales tax on freelancer. Every province has different sales tax rules. This is why they have this rule to must submit sales return and WTH returns to collect the data.

I just made a calculation based on your fiverr example and this is wrong saying that look there is no tax on freelancer. Tax or no tax they are giving out money from their own pocket.


A Freelancer who earns $1000 online have to give out now yearly around 4,44,000 rupees (Deduction)

Now here is the salary slab income tax in Pakistan


Where taxable income exceeds Rs. 1,800,000 but does not exceed Rs. 2,500,000Rs. 90,000 plus 15% of the amount exceeding Rs. 1,800,000

So, A person in pakistan who has salary same amount $1000(166,000 rupees monthly) will give out from his own pocket around 93,000 rupees (Deduction) yearly.

Freelancer = 4,44000 deduction yearly
salary person = 93,000 deduction yearly

Who is paying more now?

Hi,
According to 65C section, IT freelancee exempt has been over and replaced by tax credit meeting 3 requirements
1) 80% remittance comes in bank
2) must file sale tax return
3) must file WHT return


Commercial remittance now will be charged 1% for tax filers and 2% for non filers.

Banking are now charging according to above rule.
Does Data Science Freelancers count as IT?
