Country Financial Analysis

The statutory corporate income tax rate in Pakistan is 29%.

The oil industry felt the impact of some of the continued macro-economic challenges being faced by the country, primarily owing to the unprecedented devaluation of the rupee against the US dollar.  Profits have reduced as a result of the declining fuels market and volatility in international oil prices. Tax paid in 2019 is the payment of a minimum level of tax due under local law.
