Proceeds Realization Certificate for Remittances // How you can benefit
All
Pakistanis who receive remittances from abroad or Overseas Pakistanis who send
money to Pakistan can benefit from a Proceeds Realization Certificate (PRC).
What is
a PRC?
PRC is a proof that payments you're receiving
are from abroad. It is the authentication/verification from your Pakistani bank
that remittance has been received and processed from an overseas arrangement.
How you
can benefit from a PRC?
If you receive remittance from abroad or send
money to a Pakistani bank account from abroad, you can prove that your payments
are ‘foreign remittance’ and therefore be exempt from tax in Pakistan. Every Pakistani
bank is responsible for issuing a PRC for any foreign remittance.
