In Pakistan, when you withdraw more than PKR 50,000 in cash in a single day, the following taxes apply depending on your tax-filer status:
For Non‑Filers (not on the Active Taxpayers List, ATL)
- Withholding tax (WHT): 0.8% of the total withdrawal amount per day. This rate was increased from 0.6% under the Finance Act 2025 and became effective from July 1, 2025.
For Filers (ATL members)
- Withholding tax (WHT): 0.3% on cash withdrawals exceeding PKR 50,000 in one day. This applies to both ATM and bank‑counter withdrawals.
Examples
- If a non‑filer withdraws PKR 100,000:
- Tax = 0.8% → PKR 800 deducted at source.
- If a filer withdraws PKR 100,000:
- Tax = 0.3% → PKR 300 deducted.
Additional Insights
- The tax applies on an aggregate daily basis—it doesn’t matter if the withdrawal is in one go or split across multiple transactions in the same day.
- Reddit conversations also reflect this policy in practice:
“I withdrawal 53,000 in 3 different transactions… 318 has been deducted… WHT on Cash Withdrawal.”
That ≈0.6% deduction aligns with the previous rate before July 2025.
Summary Table
| Your Status | Withdrawal Amount (PKR) | WHT Rate (%) | Approx. Tax Deduction (PKR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filers (ATL) | > 50,000 | 0.3% | e.g. 100,000 → PKR 300 |
| Non‑Filers | > 50,000 | 0.8% | e.g. 100,000 → PKR 800 |
** Bottom line:**
- Filers on the ATL benefit from significantly lower withholding tax on large withdrawals.
- If you’re not on the ATL, you’ll face a higher 0.8% tax on any daily cash withdrawal above PKR 50,000.

It’s important to note that Israeli authorities did not disclose these strikes at the time due to strict military censorship laws.
