Freelancer & IT Export Tax Calculator

Choose the export category and enter monthly or annual foreign-service proceeds. The tool also explains the SBP purpose-code issue around IT freelance remittances.

9186 vs remittance coding

SBP purpose code 9186 is specifically described for remittances received by resident individuals/households from overseas IT firms and online platforms for freelance computer and information services. If your PRC/remittance advice shows 9471 (often described in banking/remittance workflows as a home/worker remittance code) or any other code, verify the coding with your bank before relying on it as evidence of IT-export proceeds. The official SBP circular linked here directly confirms 9186 for freelance computer and information services; this page does not treat 9471 as equivalent without bank/source verification.

Frequently asked questions

What tax year does this Pakistan page use?

Unless the page says otherwise, these Pakistan tools are scoped to Tax Year 2027 or to the rules currently in force after Finance Act 2026. Historical salary calculators remain on separate year-specific URLs.

Does the result replace an FBR assessment or tax return working?

No. The calculator applies the stated source-backed rules within its defined scope. Final liability can depend on facts, exemptions, adjustable credits, special regimes and official assessment or return treatment.

Where can I verify the rate?

Each tool links to the FBR, State Bank or provincial authority material used for its implemented rate or eligibility rule. Where a complete current official table is not safely available, the component is source-gated rather than estimated from an unsupported rate.
