How we deliver

Step by step.

01

Regime assessment

We establish which treatment your income actually qualifies for — export of services, salary from a foreign employer, or business income — because the difference is material.

02

Registrations

NTN, PSEB enrolment and any provincial registrations sequenced correctly.

03

Remittance hygiene

Banking channels and documentation set up so every dollar that arrives is defensible.

04

Annual filing

Return and wealth statement filed with the export income declared under the right head, with certificates archived.

TimelineRegistrations complete within days; the compliance cycle then runs annually with the return.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is freelance export income really taxed at a reduced rate? +
Concessional regimes exist for IT and IT-enabled export income, with conditions (registration, remittance channels, filings). Whether you qualify depends on facts — that's the first thing we assess, against current law.
I get paid through Payoneer/Wise. Is that a problem? +
Not inherently — but how the money lands and is documented decides whether it counts as export proceeds. We fix the channel before it becomes a notice.
Do I need a company or can I stay individual? +
Depends on scale, clients and risk. We'll model both — many freelancers are better off individual until a clear threshold, then we incorporate them properly.
