Pakistan tax filing for Pakistanis in the UAE
The UAE does not tax your salary, but Pakistan still taxes income that comes from Pakistan. If you rent out a flat, sell a plot or hold investments back home, you may need to file with FBR. We do it for you remotely.
What you may need to file in Pakistan
- Income tax return if you have income from Pakistan, such as rent or business income
- Capital gains tax when you sell property in Pakistan
- Advance tax when you buy or sell property, which depends on your filer status and whether you hold a NICOP or POC
- An NTN before buying or selling property
Tax where you live
The UAE charges no personal income tax on salaries. UAE corporate tax applies to businesses, not to your salary. If you do not hold UAE tax residency, Pakistan may still treat you as resident, so we check your status before filing.
Tax treaty with Pakistan
Pakistan and the UAE have a double taxation agreement. It decides which country can tax each type of income, so income is not taxed twice.
