Hi everyone,

I’m a freelancer and have been working for around 1.5 years. I usually receive my payments through Payoneer and then transfer them to JazzCash.

Now I’m thinking about becoming a tax filer in Pakistan as I am planning to open mutual fund account or a savings account more easily in the future. I’m completely new to tax filing and don’t have much knowledge about how it works, so I’m planning to hire a tax consultant to handle the filing for me.

I wanted to ask a few things:

1. Is becoming a tax filer a good idea for freelancers in my situation?

2. What things should I be careful about before filing taxes?

3. I have around 15 lakh rupees sitting in a current account. I want to put that in a saving or money market fund or What would be the better low-risk option?

4. Which banks or platforms are best in Pakistan for low-risk mutual funds/savings with less hassle?

5. Are there any other safe investment options I should consider instead?

Would really appreciate guidance from people with experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been teaching this student on Preply for the past two months. Now she’s claiming her bank account was hacked and all her scheduled lessons have been cancelled. She wants to leave the platform and share her email in the Preply chat and saying we can do lessons outside of platform and she’ll pay me by paypal. I strictly don’t go off-platform. Should I report her messages contact Preply support or simply block her?
