Income Tax Return Filing in Ahmedpur East — FBR 2026

Farm and Trade

A landowner who also runs a fertiliser shop declares crop income as exempt and shop profit as taxable. Separate bank accounts make this easy to show.

Ginners

A ginner's return shows lint and seed sales, seed cotton purchases, labour, electricity and depreciation. Tax deducted by mills and on electricity bills is credited.

Employees

Teachers and officials claim tax deducted on salary, bank profit and phone bills.

A Worked Example

A dealer sells inputs worth Rs 9,000,000 on which his gross margin is Rs 900,000; after shop expenses of Rs 300,000, profit is Rs 600,000. Tax deducted by distributors on his purchases is credited against the tax on that profit.

Wealth Statement

Land, shop stock, credit to farmers and vehicles appear in the wealth statement on 30 June.

Nawabi-Era Properties

Ahmadpur East was the old seat of the Bahawalpur state, and some families still hold havelis and urban plots inherited across generations. When such a property is sold or partitioned, each heir reports their own share, using the succession record to establish when and at what value it came to them.

Cholistan Livestock Herders

Herders who graze camels, goats and cattle in Cholistan and sell animals at the Ahmadpur and Dera Nawab markets usually treat livestock bred on their own land as part of farming. A trader who buys animals only to resell them before Eid is running a business, and that margin goes in the return as business income.
