735,481,000/-. As warranted u/s 11(5) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 taxable income of a resident
person is to be computed by taking into account Pakistan source income as well as Foreign Source income.
For ease of reference Section 11(5) is reproduced as under:-

amounts that are Pakistan-source income and amounts that are foreign-source income.”

Ordinance, 2001. For ease of reference said provision is also reproduced as under: -
Foreign tax credit. — (1) Where a resident taxpayer derives foreign source income chargeable to tax under
this Ordinance in respect of which the taxpayer has paid foreign income tax, the taxpayer shall be allowed
a tax credit of an amount equal to the lesser of –
(a) the foreign income tax paid; or
(b) the Pakistan tax payable in respect of the income.

to tax as discussed above and recover the due tax thereon. You are required to show cause why you
assessment may not be amended accordingly. However, credit of foreign tax in terms of section 103 of the
