In what was termed as a mega scam, FBR estimates that billions of rupees earned by freelancer in the past few years have gone undeclared and untaxed.
These earnings were remitted to Pakistan via Payoneer and other similar services. Sources report that more than seventy thousand freelancers earned over 60 billion Rupees but did not report these earning as they are mostly unregistered or non-filers. these remittances were earned on the sale of different items and freelancer consultancy services.
FBR investigation revealed that 75,615 individuals found to have received funds, 45,012 were not registered with the tax authority. Another 17,985 had filed income tax returns but did not pay any tax and never showed any income from international remittances.
The remaining 12,618 individuals were registered with the FBR and had an NTN, but did not pay any tax or file their tax returns.
In collaboration with the Directorate General of International Taxes, the Commissioner Offshore Taxation, Islamabad initiated an investigation into the money/ income received by Pakistanis on account of provision of various freelancer consultancy services and sale of goods to various individual clients by using the Payoneer platform.
According to source, the FBR plans to send out bulk notices to citizens who are registered but do not file tax returns, as well as to those who have filed returns but have not reported taxable foreign income in Pakistan.
According to FBR sources, the total effect of the tax revenue is estimated to be more than Rs10 billion, which is convenient to levy and recover due to the definite nature of the details.
This will not only expand the revenue base, but it will also boost the country’s total tax-to-GDP ratio by bringing in real taxpayers with daily foreign income.
