Frequently Asked Questions
What is Section 285BAA?
Section 285BAA is a provision in Pakistan's tax law requiring disclosure of virtual asset holdings and transactions. It applies to both individual taxpayers (in personal tax returns and annual wealth statements) and VASPs (for business transaction reporting). All persons with virtual assets must comply.
Which banks work with crypto companies?
Under SBP Circular No. 10 of 2026, all SBP-regulated banks are authorized to open accounts for PVARA-licensed VASPs. For NOC holders, limited-purpose accounts are permitted. For licensed VASPs, full transactional services including Client Money Accounts (CMAs) are available. We facilitate the documentation and CMA setup process with banks.
What are the corporate tax rates for crypto companies?
Standard corporate tax rates apply to VASPs. However, specific treatment of crypto gains and the applicability of capital gains versus business income rules requires careful analysis. We provide a detailed assessment during consultation. Use our crypto tax calculator to estimate your liabilities.
How long does FBR registration take?
NTN registration typically takes 2–3 business days. Sales tax registration may take 1–2 weeks depending on verification requirements and documentation completeness.
Do I need a local accountant?
While not legally required, having local accounting support familiar with Pakistan tax laws and crypto-specific issues is highly recommended. We provide this as part of our ongoing support service, with a dedicated accountant assigned to your account.
What ongoing compliance is required?
Monthly withholding tax statements, annual tax returns, Section 285BAA disclosures, and various periodic filings are all required. We manage all compliance calendars for you so nothing is missed and penalties are avoided.
