Has anyone every bought anything from India? I need to send money to a sellers bank account in india. I tried Western Union but they said they don't do business with India. Same goes for other money transferring services. Any ideas on how i can transfer money to the sellers bank account?

Guys how much tax are you guys getting charged on buying items from aliexpress

I am currently using UBL Master Card debit card and paying additional 1% WHT tax (filer) and 3% as International Master Card charges - POS charges

There are no charges on MCB Lite card as per Call center, however, Once I got charged @ USD 137 while rate was 133 (So its equals to 4%) Last week I got charged at market rate i-e 134, No Additional fees.

i am not talking about the higher dollar rates charged.

If I buy something from aliexpress, three transactions occur in my account.
one is the main transaction cost
then 1% Witholding Tax
then 3% International transaction charges

the 1% WHT is in advanced income tax mode and can be recovered if you are employed. It is on all international orders that are charged in US$. If you are ordering from amazon and want to avoid the charge switch currency to PKR. Ali express does show prices in PKR but charges in USD (AFAIK)


the rest of the charges varies from bank to bank and transaction to transaction. the SoC lists the maximum that may be charged.

This is totally Ok in case of UBL Card, They charge additional 4%, Try MCB Lite Card on Aliexpress, there are no such charges AFAIK.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
