Is Pakistan’s Freelance Economy at Risk? PAFLA Raises Concerns. Pakistan’s growing digital talent, freelancers, YouTubers, TikTokers, and online educators—may face unfair taxes. The Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA) is raising important concerns about the government’s plan to tax digital creators. Why does it matter? This sector brought in $400 million in foreign remittances in FY25, and with the right policies, it could hit $1 billion. Here’s what PAFLA is advocating: ✅Fair taxes, not blanket ones: A fair tax model that targets only high earners, leaving out educators and skill trainers, would be better. ✅Encourage, don’t punish: Pakistan should see freelancers as a key part of the economy and digital growth. ✅Create policies for growth: Digital creators aren’t just making money, they’re helping to build Pakistan’s global digital reputation. This is about more than taxes, it’s about our economic future. Should we support our knowledge economy or hold it back? 🔗 Read the full Tribune feature: https://tribune.com.pk/story/2550057/experts-warn-against-taxing-freelancers-content-creators #pafla #freelancepakistan #digitalpakistan #creatoreconomy #taxpolicy #freelancersdeservebetter #futureofwork #remittanceeconomy #supportdigitaltalent
