    Dear Mr. Zeeshan
    Hope you are well.
    I got your email from your blog.

    I work as a free lancer from home for a couple of foreign companies and get paid for the online research, contact and lead generation online support, database management and sales services.

    1. I want to know if foreign remittance paid via banking channels coming to individual accounts in Pakistan and the converted to pkr, is taxable? I guess limit is upto 1%

    2. Some foreign foreign banks do not transfer to individual accounts and ask to be paid to company account as well. So I was wondering if I register a sole proprietor company with myself as owner and if foreign remittance comes to this sole proprietor account from overseas via banking channels and converted to Pkr, would it be taxable as well?

    3. Also, incase of foreign remittance arriving to pvt ltd company account would it be taxable too?

    Thanks in advance
