Sad and Bad News,
Saudi Government has imposed 6% tax for all overseas remittance.
Means to transfer 100,000 Saudi Riyal in Pakistan we have to pay 6000 SAR !!! It's too much
Ramadan gift to foreigners from Saudi Government!

Few weeks backs I tried to tell but no one was be beliviing on my news. Not only this, GCC coutries also going to limit remitance. Al though this rule is not in western countries but major share of remitance is coming from GCC countries. Property tax in Pakistan and all this this will let market to correction phase.

We have lot of overseas Pakistanis in KSA & GCC, and if these States go with their enforcement it'll will hurt us badly by limited & restricted remittance causing down trend economic activities in Pakistan, dragging other things along with social unrest in the country. Current Budget by itself was enough to 'achieve' this goal by Dar's Declaration.

it is just a proposal. they can not implement it without giving investment opportunities to expats in country. Long way to go

Saudi & Kuwait come up with a lot of foolish proposals.

Once it becomes law, then it can be discussed.

If it is imposed in other Gulf countries as well, it will create big panic to their own investors and I see big crash in Dubai/UAE realestate as well as in overall business. I don't think they will let is happen.
