The Rawalpindi side of Bahria Town includes several of the original phases along GT Road, with houses, apartments, commercial centres and a large investor base. Our clients here are residents, landlords and investors in Bahria's Rawalpindi phases.
Punjab Rules for the Rawalpindi Phases
Phases within Rawalpindi district fall under Punjab, so businesses providing taxable services there deal with the Punjab Revenue Authority rather than the ICT services tax. Property tax in these phases follows Punjab's system.
Landlords
Houses and apartments in the older phases are widely let. Rent is declared each year; owners abroad declare it in a Pakistani return.
File and Plot Investors
Investors trade files and plots in Bahria's phases. Each sale is a taxable gain; frequent trading can be treated as business income.
Commercial Centres
Shops, restaurants and offices file income tax returns and PRA returns where applicable.
Residents
Families living in the phases declare their homes at cost and keep maintenance receipts.
Getting Started
Share Bahria's allotment or transfer letters, payment receipts and income records. We prepare returns with a clear property schedule.
Short-Term Rentals
Some Bahria owners let apartments for short stays through online platforms. This income is taxable and should be declared; platform statements show bookings and payouts.
Construction Deadlines
Bahria may set deadlines for building on plots. Any surcharge paid for delay adds to the plot's cost.
Maintenance Disputes
Unpaid maintenance charges can delay transfers; settle them before selling.
