Pakistan tax filing for Pakistanis in the USA
US citizens and green card holders report worldwide income to the IRS, including rent and gains from Pakistan. Pakistan taxes that same income first. We file your Pakistan return and document the tax paid so you can claim it on your US return.
What you may need to file in Pakistan
- Income tax return for rent, business or other income from Pakistan
- Capital gains tax when you sell property in Pakistan
- An NTN before buying or selling property
- Proof of Pakistan tax paid for your IRS foreign tax credit
Tax where you live
The United States taxes its citizens and residents on worldwide income. Foreign tax paid on the same income can generally be claimed as a foreign tax credit.
Tax treaty with Pakistan
Pakistan and the United States have an income tax treaty. Together with the US foreign tax credit, it helps prevent the same income being taxed twice.
