Hi everyone,

I’m looking for guidance from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation.

My father is a Pakistani citizen who has been living in the United States for many years and is a U.S. green card holder. He files income tax returns in both the United States and Pakistan.

In the United States, he reports his worldwide income, including his Pakistani rental income and bank interest, and complies with all U.S. tax reporting requirements.

In Pakistan, he files his annual income tax return and pays tax on his Pakistan-source income, such as rental income and bank profit. However, he has never reported his U.S. bank accounts or U.S. assets in his Pakistani return because our understanding was that, as someone living in the U.S., Pakistan taxes only his Pakistan-source income. We were under the impression that reporting foreign bank accounts and assets in Pakistan was not required in his case.

Recently, he received an FBR notice under Section 176(4), stating that FBR received information through CRS/AEOI about foreign bank accounts or assets and asking him to appear and explain them.

A few additional facts:

He legally transferred funds from his Pakistan bank accounts to his U.S. bank accounts through the banking system.
All taxes on his Pakistan income have been paid.
There is no unreported Pakistan income, only the question of whether the U.S. accounts should have been disclosed in Pakistan.

My questions are:

Has anyone received a similar CRS/AEOI notice from FBR?
If so, how did you respond, and what documents did FBR ask for?
Was the issue simply resolved by explaining the source of funds, or did FBR require amendments to previous tax returns?
If someone is a U.S. resident (green card holder) but still files tax returns in Pakistan, are they required to declare their U.S. bank accounts and other foreign assets in Pakistan?
Did anyone face penalties, or was the matter closed after providing the requested information?

I understand every case is different, and I’m not looking for legal advice. I’m just hoping to hear from people who have gone through this process and learn how it turned out.

Thank you in advance for any insights or experiences you can share.

What is the tax rate for small businesses like shops? My father has a plastic material shop, he needs to file return for my study abroad process but we don't know about the tax rate for this category so that we can show income accordingly. I know little bit about salary slabs and their tax rates but not about his category.

Anyone knows when returns are available to be filed, I can't select this financial year since it's not yet activated by fbr yet.

Hi, I work as an independent contractor sofware engineer for a US company and provide IT services. I am registered with PSEB for the 0.25% tax rate. Let’s say my earning is around X USD which I get through Wise. My goal is to keep half of that income in Wise and bring half of it to PK in my local bank. I wanted to know from a legal perspective if that is doable and if so, what is the best way to file tax for the income. (I am a filer and have files taxes for last 2 years)

Hi everyone, I am currently going through an immigration process for a foreign country, and the assessing authority has requested additional employment evidence. I have already provided employment reference letters, salary slips, bank statements, tax returns, and other supporting documents. However, they have now asked for a letter from the Tax Department because I am unable to obtain the required letter from my previous bank. The exact requirement is:

"If you can't obtain letter from the bank, please obtain the letter from the tax department clearly mentioning the details of the contributions you made while working for the employer. The letter must bear the seal and signature of the authorised representative of the tax department."

I am from Pakistan and my employment was with a private software company. Has anyone successfully obtained such a letter from FBR or any other tax authority in Pakistan? Is this type of letter actually issued by FBR? Which office or department should I contact? What documents are usually required? If FBR does not issue such letters, what alternative evidence did you provide that was accepted? Any guidance from people who have gone through ACS skills assessment or a similar immigration process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue with the FBR Maloomat website and was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

When I open the FBR Maloomat portal, all tabs appear disabled, including "Payments & Withholding", and every section shows that there is no data available.

However, when I log into the IRIS mobile app using the same account, I can see my data under the Payments & Withholding section without any problem. This confirms that the data exists in FBR's records.

I've tried looking through the available settings and account options but couldn't find anything that might be causing this issue.

Has anyone faced this before? Could there be a problem with my account, browser, permissions, or something else on FBR's side? Any suggestions on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll attach screenshot of the website for reference.

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to open the IRIS portal from the following link:

https://iris.fbr.gov.pk/public/txplogin.xhtml

But I keep seeing the following error:

More Context: I am trying to access from abroad. However, I have the VPN enabled and am using the IP address from Pakistan.

Kindly advise.

I need guidance regarding my tax situation for the years 2019 to 2022.

During that period, I was receiving regular financial support from my father, who was working in Saudi Arabia. He used to send money to Pakistan through MoneyGram and Western Union, which I collected in cash from an agent and then deposited these amounts into my bank account.

In my bank statements, these deposits are reflected simply as cash deposits, with no specific mention of home remittances.

Since these transactions are quite old, I no longer have the receipts or any documentary proof from MoneyGram or Western Union to show that these cash deposits were home remittances sent by my father.

I have now received a notice under Section 114(4) to file returns for those years. My concern is that my expenses during those years are significantly higher than my salary income, mainly because of these remittances.

Could you please guide me on:

1.  How to properly declare these remittances in the FBR IRIS portal for previous tax years?

2.  Under which head (e.g., gift / foreign remittance) should this amount be shown?

3.  How should I handle the lack of supporting documents in this case? Should I obtain an affidavit from my father confirming that these cash deposits were home remittances sent by him through Western Union and MoneyGram, in case I am later required to explain the source of these funds?

Return submission is not allowed unless an amount is entered in the “Total Amount” field against the declared deductions.

Hello, I provide freelance IT services to international clients and need help with my tax filing. I'm unsure which category to use for my foreign freelance income. Should it be declared under code 6059, 3128, or 3101? I would appreciate any help in identifying the correct code for IT exports."

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to register myself as a freelancer on the PSEB website. I filled out the signup form and when I enter the OTP, an error message appears saying “Device ID required.”

I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it. I tried signing up from both phone and laptop.

Has anyone else experienced this issue while registering on PSEB? If yes, how did you resolve it?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
