Hey
I was reading this post https://www.reddit.com/r/FIREPakistan/s/edCI6PBPLR about freelancer tax.
So basically I am doing freelancing for years and withdrawing through WISE. I am withdrawing around PKR 1.5 Crore for past 3 years. I do freelancing on Upwork and Fiverr, and I also have a remote Job Contract on Deel. I get paid on deel as well.
I am registered with PSEB and I also have the PRCs, but the status code is 9471 or 0401 or 0201. I have Meezan Freelancer DigiAccount and it doesn’t deduct 0.25%, but I file taxes in the category of IT exports 0.25% Tax and pay the tax by myself.
According to the post, its technically wrong because 9471 is served as home remittances.
Home remittances are tax exempt?
What are the conditions for it?
How much tax I am liable to pay under this category?
What is the best approach to file the tax with 9471 0401 0201?
What about my past income tax returns?
What will happen if FBR audits?

A warden can take the keys of my bike, lock the bike, keep the keys and force you to pay the online Chalan? while I think the chalan has expiry date and we can pay it later, and what I can do if I don't have enough money with me. You know Punjab traffic Warden pigs don't listen.

I discussed this earlier about my passion of joining this line of business or profession as a lawyer. I'hv finally took a first step and applied for LAT. Roll no slip isn't generated yet so not sure about exact date of test .

I need suggestion regarding preparation.

I'hv no idea what can appear in this test i'hv seen online papers studied them as well for last 2 months . Can i rely on those papers only ? Or should i get any book or any other source materials.

Thank you.

How many Lawyers are here including me ?
And where are you from ?

One of my relative was going out of country today. After all the process and he had been even processed than they called him back again in waiting room on lahore airport and off boarded him and sent him home .

Now we aren't sure why they just off boarded him and sent him home .

How can we figure this out as he was going on job visa and they have already paid alot for visa and all the process.

Or if there is any legal process do let me know thanks .

Will they be punished under physical assault or will the cause be seen as the factor

Someone told me that doctors should get advice from lawyers on what to do when such things happen. This video was clearly harassment and public humilation for that women.

So my question is, what specific laws here protect us as women and as doctors? What do we do when something like that happens? Where do we file a complaint?

Someone I know got scammed out of 4 million rupees. This scammer was a karate instructor in a children’s academy. My nephew was a student there. When I went to pick him up one day, this instructor was sitting on his chair and had a crying and scared 4 year old boy held between his legs. He was threatening to cut his hair if he didn’t fight. I created a huge issue out of this, reached out to that boy’s parents and all. However, the mothers of the other kids continued to send their kids to this academy. They RALLIED AGAINST ME BECAUSE BECHARAY KI JOB CHALI GAYI HAI.
Recently one of those mothers reached out to me to tell me that this man was literally grooming young girls including her daughter. He infiltrated the family, installed tracking apps in their phones and took millions of rupees from them.
My problem is that a PDF is out there working with children and he should be off the streets. Is there a resolution for this?

Assalam-o-Alaikum everyone,

I am seeking legal advice regarding a situation involving my family in a village near Okara.

Situation:

About 8 days ago, my two brothers and two cousins were involved in a fight with another group. During the fight, one of my brother used a small knife, causing non-life-threatening injuries to two people from the rival group. They are stable and have returned home. However, my brothers and cousins have left the village to avoid arrest.

My Personal Issue:

I live in a city about 4km away from the village where the fight happened. I was 100% not present at the scene and have no involvement in the fight. I am currently in Lahore for safety for the last 3 days.

The Legal Complications:

No FIR yet: It has been 8 days and the rival group has not registered an FIR yet.

Medical Tampering: We have information that they are trying to bribe hospital staff to get a "heavy" medical report to include serious sections (like 324 PPC) in the FIR.

Police Harassment: I am worried that the police might raid my house or arrest me just for leverage/bribery, even though I wasn't there.

My Questions:

Since there is no FIR yet, I cannot apply for Pre-Arrest Bail. Should I file a Writ of Harassment (Section 22-A/22-B) in the Sessions Court to prevent illegal arrest or raids?

How can I legally establish my "Plea of Alibi" since I was 20km away in the city during the incident?

I have two young daughters at home and I want to return to them safely. What is the safest legal way to go back without being picked up by the police for "interrogation" or bribery?

aoa guys please if any consumer lawyer is reading this please dm me i want to discuss a recovery case of money that i had invested for a business

My brother married with a women that we didn't know background of. She creates alot of trouble for our house.

Extracts all brother income and utilizes into her fraud schemes like committee, plot schemes etc, all controlled by her family members.

Lives in another rented house. Our family have zero interference to their personal matters.

Even that wasn't issue, every month she creates drama. Taunts my father, he's blood pressure patient.

She does no work. He eats from hotel, wash clothes and dishes himself even after 6h of job.

Her health is suspicious. Every week she goes to premium hospitals for her checkup. No kids since 5years. Now started to blame him for infertility, even there wasn't any pressure from anyone for having kids. Note: My brother passed military medical tests many times

She daily pressurize him. Even she have no. of his collegues and company. Even have contacts to our foe.

This one seems professional blackmailer. She even cut her self and took camerashot to play victim.

Now our family decided, as our anchestors are well-documented, unbearable to keep up with criminal minded person. Want to divorce and marry him with other caring women.

Today she call from his mobile and blackmailed if we tried to arrange divorce. My brother left as hostage. I'm not sure what condition my brother is in.

Note: my another brother lives peacefully along with her wife, we never had any complain. Even having kids not our concern. We just wanted "mind your own business" peaceful approach.

Wanted to know how divorce peacefully? My brother is big coward. Don't expect any warrior type of action from him.

If the income is clearly export of IT services, and I voluntarily disclose the gross receipts and pay 154A tax manually, what section says I must instead be taxed under normal slabs merely because the funds were retained in Payoneer/Elevate?

As some of you might be aware the Cambridge CAIE exams have been getting leaked for 3 consecutive years now amd this year it was really bad as almost all the papers have been leaked by now and Cambridge has only accepted like to of the leaks

our parents work really hard to put us through alevels and pay such large sum of money to Cambridge (almost 60k per subject) just so we can get a good education and this is what they are doing now

I was wondering if we could sue them over this and if yes can any lawyers help me out?

i’ve been facing harassment and blackmail from a man for over 2 months. i’ve been hesitant to take legal action as he is threatening to leak my private chats with my fiance. however i am scared if i take legal action then my very religious family will be involved and things is sexual + substance nature will come out and they will honour kill me (i am 20)

I’m looking for some guidance on a situation I’m currently facing with my employer (a private company in Karachi). I was recently informed that I am being let go due to an unsatisfactory performance review. While I had been told previously that I needed to improve, I was never actually placed on a formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Here is where it gets complicated: My employment contract explicitly states a 60-day written notice period (or payment in lieu of notice). Despite this, the company is asking me to exit immediately. They haven't sent an official termination email yet, but they have indicated that I will only be paid for the current month’s payroll. I want to ensure they honor the terms we both signed. If they refuse to pay the remaining balance, what are my best options for escalation? Any advice on how to handle this professionally.

Aoa everyone! I have an ongoing civil suit(land dispute) for which I need some guidance. If anyone could guide please dm I'll share the details. Thanks!
