Bahria Town's phases along the Islamabad Expressway and GT Road form one of the largest private communities in the twin cities, with houses, apartments, commercial areas and a big investor base. Our Bahria Town clients are residents, investors in files and plots, and business owners in its commercial zones.
Investors in Files and Plots
Much of Bahria Town's activity involves files and plots bought on instalments and traded before possession. A file is an asset from the first instalment and should appear in the wealth statement at the amount paid. Selling a file at a profit is a taxable gain; frequent trading can look like a business. Bahria Town's own transfer records and payment receipts are the key documents.
Residents and Rented Houses
Many houses in the phases are let to families and expatriates. Rent is taxable each year; the owner pays tax through the return if the tenant does not deduct it. Owners living abroad still declare the rent in a Pakistani return.
Commercial Areas
Shops, restaurants and offices in Bahria's commercial zones file business returns. Restaurants and some services may fall under sales tax on services. Because Bahria Town spans Islamabad and Rawalpindi district boundaries, check whether ICT or Punjab rules apply to services provided from your location.
Maintenance Charges
Residents pay maintenance and utility charges to the developer. These are household expenses for a self-occupied home and are part of the personal expenses figure in the wealth statement.
Getting Started
Share your allotment or transfer letters, payment receipts, tenancy agreements and income records. We prepare a return and wealth statement that account for each property and file.
