Every year, two million people from 90 countries sit international exams through the British Council. Our globally recognised qualifications help students to attend the best universities, find amazing career opportunities and set themselves up for a more rewarding life. 

Our organisation is trusted by teachers, governments, employers and students, the British Council offers support and advice and ensures the integrity of the exam system at every stage.

As per section 236Y (Income Tax Ordinance, 2001), all international transactions made via credit or debit card are subject to advance tax deduction by the bank at rates 1% for filers and 3% for non-filers. Candidates who choose to pay online via credit / debit card for exams and / or to avail other related services with British Council Pakistan should be aware of the above applicable tax, as the British Council transactions settlement process is executed through an international merchant/banking company. Kindly note that candidates applying for exam refund under the British Council refund policy, will not be refunded the advance tax amount as deducted by the bank.
