Returns from Attock district are mostly salaried returns for industrial and defence staff, business returns for contractors and traders, and returns combining farm income with other earnings. This page covers what each needs.
Salaried Staff
Collect the salary certificate, bank tax certificates and receipts for tax paid on phone, internet and vehicle token. Engineers who do private consulting declare that income too.
Contractors
List each contract with the company, the amount received and tax deducted. Deduct wages, fuel, equipment hire and other costs to find profit. Tax deducted by the company is a credit.
Landowners with Other Income
Declare agricultural income as exempt and other income, such as rent or trade, as taxable.
A Worked Example
A transport contractor receives Rs 6,000,000 from an exploration company, which deducts tax on each payment. After fuel, drivers' wages and vehicle depreciation of Rs 4,700,000, his profit is Rs 1,300,000. The tax deducted is credited against the tax on that profit, and any excess can be refunded.
