FILERWISE
Pakistani independent professional working at a laptop

Upwork, Fiverr, direct clients or remote work

I work independently and receive client payments into my own account.

You receive money from clients in Pakistan or abroad and need your tax record to match the way the money actually reaches you.

What may apply

Your likely paperwork, in plain words.

This is a starting point, not a claim that every item applies. Your income, location, business activity and existing registrations decide the final list.

  1. Tax registration in your own name

  2. Annual income tax return

  3. Bank certificates and remittance evidence

  4. PSEB registration where it is relevant

Your route from here

Three steps. No portal language.

  1. Map your income

    We separate foreign client receipts, local work and any salary or other income.

  2. Check your evidence

    Bank statements and remittance records matter as much as the amount received.

  3. File the full picture

    Your return should match both your income and your year-end assets.

Before you act

Small details that change the answer.

  • A foreign client does not automatically make every payment export income.
  • PSEB status and Active Taxpayer List status are separate checks.
  • Bank fees do not change the gross receipt used in every calculation.
