Baldia Town in west Karachi is a working-class district beside the SITE industrial belt, with garment and small manufacturing units, transport businesses and thousands of factory workers. Our clients here are small unit owners, contractors, transporters and salaried workers.
Small Units Supplying Bigger Factories
Many Baldia workshops stitch, wash, print or pack goods for larger exporters in SITE. The buyer often deducts tax from payments and asks for an NTN, and sometimes a sales tax registration. Keeping each purchase order with its invoice and payment record lets the workshop claim the tax deducted and shows its real turnover.
Labour Contractors
Contractors who supply workers to factories receive payments that include wages they pass on. Only the contractor's margin is profit, but tax may be deducted on the full payment. A wage register and bank record of payments to workers are needed to show the difference.
Transporters
Pick-up and loader operators carrying goods between Baldia, SITE and the port pay advance tax with vehicle tax and may have tax deducted on freight. These are credits in the annual return.
Workers
Factory workers whose salary crosses the taxable threshold have tax deducted by the employer. Filing is optional for many, but it puts them on the Active Taxpayers List and allows any excess deduction to be refunded.

Frequently Asked Questions
My buyer deducts tax from my workshop's payments. Can I get it back?
It is credited against your tax when you file. If it exceeds your liability, the excess can be claimed as a refund.
Is a labour contractor taxed on the full payment from the factory?
Income tax applies to the contractor's profit. Wages passed on to workers are costs, supported by a wage register and payment records.
Should a factory worker file a return?
It is worthwhile if tax is deducted from salary or if you want the lower rates available to people on the Active Taxpayers List.
