Why Pakistan?
IT and ITeS export companies
Pakistan Software Export Board registered exporters pay a 0.25% final tax on export proceeds through June 2026, rising to 1% thereafter. SBP allows IT exporters to retain 50% of proceeds in USD Exporters Special Foreign Currency Accounts for direct international payments.
English language engineering back offices
Pakistan has 240M people, English administrative language across SECP, FBR, and courts, and a common law system inherited from the UK. Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad host growing engineering talent pools at significantly lower costs than India or the Philippines.
Small companies with PKR 250M turnover or below
Small Company status under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 caps CIT at 20% versus the 29% standard rate. Combined with the 0.25% IT export regime and 68 double tax treaties, founders can structure efficient cross border operations from Pakistan.
Considerations
If you need Stripe, Wise, or Mercury
Stripe, Mercury, and Wise do not support PKR business accounts, and SBP foreign exchange repatriation requires bank approvals with supporting documentation. Most tech founders pair a Pakistani operating company with a Delaware or Singapore parent for international receipts.
If you operate in crypto or digital assets
The State Bank of Pakistan has prohibited regulated financial institutions from facilitating cryptocurrency transactions since April 2018. A Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority bill is under development, but founders should not assume a near term licensed pathway exists for VASPs.
