FBR AND OVERSEAS PAKISTANIS

For overseas Pakistanis, buying property back home shouldn’t come with a punishing tax surprise. Yet, under Section 100BA, non-filers face up to 18.5% withholding tax on real estate purchases—simply for not being on the FBR’s active taxpayer list. But here’s what most buyers don’t know: Clause 111AC of the Second Schedule completely exempts POC and NICOP holders from these harsh rates. This means you can pay the same low taxes as registered filers, even if you’ve never filed a return in Pakistan. In this blog, we break down exactly how Section 100BA works, how Clause 111AC protects you, and what documents you need at registration to save thousands—legally and effortlessly.
