Jhelum residents and their relatives abroad register for an NTN to manage rental property, sell or buy property at filer rates, or run businesses on the GT Road and in the cantonment.
Owners Living in Britain
Thousands of Jhelum houses belong to families living in Birmingham, Bradford, Luton and London. An owner who rents out a house or plans to sell can register online with a NICOP and file each year from the UK. Registration alone does not lower tax; a filed return that puts the owner on the Active Taxpayers List does, both for the buyer's advance tax under section 236K and the seller's under section 236C.
Tenants Who Withhold Tax
When a bank, mobile company or other business rents a building in Jhelum, it withholds tax from the rent. The landlord's NTN and return are needed to claim that deduction.
Cantonment Contractors
Works and services for the cantonment are given to registered contractors, whose bills are withheld at lower rates if they file.
GT Road Petrol Pumps and Showrooms
Oil companies and car and motorcycle manufacturers appoint only registered dealers.
Heirs
When a parent's house is sold, each heir's share is taxed in that heir's hands, so each heir who sells benefits from being a filer.
Applying
Follow our FBR registration guide; the process is the same from Jhelum or abroad.
Retired Servicemen
Soldiers retiring from Jhelum cantonment and investing commutation in transport or shops register when the business starts.
