F-9 is dominated by Fatima Jinnah Park, one of Islamabad's largest green spaces, with residential areas, sports facilities and nearby institutions. Our clients here are residents, sports and fitness businesses and event organisers.
Fitness and Sports Businesses
Gyms, sports academies and fitness trainers operating around F-9 earn membership fees and coaching income. These services may be taxable under the ICT tax on services, and the businesses file income tax returns showing fees less rent, equipment and staff costs.
Event Organisers and Caterers
Events, fairs and festivals held in and around the park involve organisers, caterers and vendors. Organisers receiving payments from sponsors and companies may have tax deducted, and event and catering services can attract sales tax on services.
Independent Trainers and Coaches
Personal trainers and coaches who work with several clients or gyms earn business income. A record of sessions and payments, and of fees paid to gyms for space, supports their returns.
Residents
Residents with salaried jobs, pensions or rental income file standard returns and keep their wealth statements current.

Getting Started
Gyms and academies should share membership records, rent agreements, equipment invoices and staff salaries. Event organisers need contracts with sponsors and clients and records of payments to vendors. Trainers need a list of sessions and payments. We use these to prepare returns and any services tax filings.
Membership fees received in advance should be recorded when received, with the period they cover noted.
