Sibi returns cover livestock, farming, the mela, transport and salaries. This page explains what to include.
Breeders
Sales of animals bred and raised on family land are agricultural income and declared as such.
Livestock Traders
Sales against purchase prices, fodder, transport and market fees; animals unsold on 30 June are stock.

Farmers
Crops from family land are agricultural income.

Families in Quetta
Sibi families living partly in Quetta file one return covering all their income.
Mela Season Accounts
The Sibi Mela falls in February, in the middle of the tax year; stall holders who trade only during the mela still file for the whole year, showing the mela takings and the stock bought for it.
Dates and Kachhi Produce
Traders who buy dates and grain from the Kachhi plain to send to Quetta show their margin after purchase, packing and freight.
Railway Pensioners
Retired railway staff living in Sibi declare their pension as exempt and list their houses and land, so that the wealth statement shows where their assets came from.
