Bagh is a hilly district of Azad Kashmir known for its forests, the Sudhan Gali and Ganga Choti areas and a large number of families with members in the armed forces and abroad. Its residents deal with AJK's tax system for local income and FBR for income and assets in Pakistan proper.
Two Systems
A Bagh household can owe returns in two places. Shop profits, rent from a building in Bagh bazaar or a guest house near Sudhan Gali fall under the AJK Council's tax administration, while a salary paid by a federal department or rent from a flat in Rawalpindi is an FBR matter. Keeping a short list of every income source, with the place where it arises, settles which return each one belongs to.
Army Families
Many Bagh families have members serving in the army. Serving personnel's salaries are taxed at source by their federal employer, and plots allotted through defence schemes in Pakistan proper belong in their wealth statements.
Overseas Workers
Workers in the Gulf send money home for houses and land; bank transfers document these.
Tourism
Guest houses near Sudhan Gali and Ganga Choti serve visitors in summer; their income arises in AJK.
