Tax Services for Non- Residents

Non-Residents (provide hyperlink to our non-residents article) are still required to pay taxes on income earned in Pakistan. However there are special tax exemptions under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and treaty exemptions that non-residents may qualify for. Research has shown that the majority of non-residents either do not file, or do so incorrectly, which may result in a massive overpayment of taxes by these non-residents. Arif and Associates has satisfied a number of non-resident clients through our specialized tax advisory services for non-residents.
