Are you an IT company in Pakistan looking to maximize profits, minimize tax liabilities, and expand globally? Registering with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) might be the smartest financial decision you make this year. From drastically reduced tax rates to exclusive government-backed incentives, PSEB registration can help you legally save up to 75% in taxes while unlocking powerful growth opportunities.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through how PSEB registration can transform your IT business, reduce your tax burden, and give you a competitive edge in the global market.
Save Up to 75% in Taxes with PSEB Registration
One of the biggest benefits of registering your company with the Pakistan Software Export Board is the massive tax reduction. Instead of the standard corporate tax rates (1%), PSEB-registered IT companies pay only 0.25% tax on their export revenues.
Example: If your company earns Rs. 10 million in export revenue:
- Without PSEB registration: You may pay up to Rs. 100,000 in taxes.
- With PSEB registration: You only pay Rs. 25,000 — saving up to 75% in taxes!
This benefit alone makes PSEB registration a must-have for any IT or ITeS company in Pakistan.
