Can I avoid Advance Income tax on new car purchase with foreign income already taxed abroad?

[mcsohaib9]

Hello,

I am a Filer in Pakistan with no income generated in Pakistan.
My income is overseas and also taxed at that foreign country.

I want to purchase a car in pakistan but want to know why I should be liable to pay Advance Income Tax on new car purchase when I don't generate any income in Pakistan but rather bring tons of remittance back to Pakistan.

Is there a way to claim exemption from Advance Income Tax while purchasing a new car?

since u r a filter
u will already get everything on better rates
also since u file income = 0
u cant adjust anything like income tax

Such taxes are never settled in Pakistan since you dont earn, you aren't liable to pay or even adjust.

Their is no concept of returning extra paid.

At maximum your net worth in white money will go up.

if your income proceedings are landing in a Pakistani Bank account, approach your bank for annual With-holding tax certificate. You can claim adjustments of all such taxes in annual income tax return. at time of vehicle registration the only benefit you can get is of lower WHT slab as filer and that too is adjustable in Annual Tax Return if vehicle is under your name / Pakistan NICOP (dual national) or CNIC.

Tax at time of vehicle registration has to be paid by all means.
