File your return correctly, claim every credit and refund you are entitled to, and get on the Active Taxpayers List so you stop paying non filer rates on every transaction.
Filing a tax return is the single most important compliance step for anyone earning in Pakistan. It is also the one most people put off, either because the IRIS portal feels intimidating or because they are not sure what to declare and what to leave out. We handle the entire process from start to finish, whether you are a salaried employee filing for the first time or a company with several years of pending returns.
Under section 114 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, you are legally required to file a return if any of the following apply to you:
Even if none of these apply, filing voluntarily is worth doing. Filer status lowers your withholding tax rate on banking, property, vehicle registration and dividend income.
Quick check. If FBR withheld tax on your salary, bank profit or property purchase in the last year and you did not file a return, that money is likely sitting there. A properly filed return can recover part or all of it as a refund.
Most common category. We collect your salary certificate, bank statement, tax deduction certificates and any details of assets purchased or sold. Your return is normally filed within 24 to 48 hours of receiving complete documents.
For traders, shopkeepers, professionals and small business owners. We prepare the profit and loss summary, apply the correct tax slab, adjust withholding tax already deducted and file the return with a complete wealth statement.
Freelancers earning through Upwork, Fiverr, direct clients or PSEB registered IT companies get access to a reduced tax rate on foreign remittances. We help structure your treatment correctly so you do not overpay.
Private limited, SMC and public unlisted companies. Return of total income, tax computation, minimum turnover tax reconciliation and depreciation schedules, filed alongside the audited financials.
The wealth statement under section 116 is where most audit triggers hide. We reconcile opening and closing wealth, disclose gifts and inheritances properly, and make sure no gap invites a section 122 notice later.
The exact list depends on your category, but here is what covers most cases:
Individuals and AOPs must file by 30 September following the end of the tax year, and companies with a normal tax year by 31 December. Filing after the deadline results in:
Late by a few years? No problem. We regularly file returns for people who have not filed in five or more years. We start with the most recent year, then work backwards.
Yes. Every resident individual filing a return of total income is required to file a wealth statement under section 116, regardless of income source.
Filing itself does not trigger scrutiny. What triggers audits is inconsistent data. A return that reconciles with your bank inflows, wealth statement and third party information sitting with FBR is far less likely to be picked than one that does not.
ATL is updated by FBR at set intervals. Once your return is filed and any late filing surcharge is paid, your name appears on the next ATL cycle.
Yes, subject to the time limitation under the Ordinance. We assess your case and apply for refund where the law allows.
