G-13 was developed largely for federal government employees through the employees' housing authority, and today combines houses, apartments and a busy markaz. Our G-13 clients are federal employees, apartment owners and markaz traders.
This page covers G-13 housing allottees and Markaz traders. For the full district guide, see tax consultant in G-13, Islamabad.
Allottees of Government Housing Schemes
Federal employees who received plots or apartments through the housing authority pay for them in instalments. The amounts paid appear in the wealth statement as the asset's cost, and the allotment letter is the key document. Selling an allotted unit before or after possession has tax consequences that depend on the dates involved.
Apartment Blocks
G-13's apartment blocks are often let to young families. Rent from individual tenants arrives without deduction, so owners pay tax with their returns.
Markaz Traders
Shops and eateries in G-13 Markaz file business returns; eateries charge ICT sales tax on services where applicable.
Getting Started
Federal employees should share the salary certificate, allotment letter and instalment receipts; landlords their tenancy agreements; traders their purchase and sales records. We prepare the return and wealth statement remotely.
Retirement and Allotted Units
Many G-13 allottees are nearing or past retirement. Pension from federal service is exempt, but rent from an allotted apartment is taxable. When an allottee passes away, heirs should complete the transfer with the housing authority and each declare their share from that year onward, with the succession papers kept on file.
Selling an Allotted Unit
If you sell, the authority's rules on transfer apply first; then advance tax and any capital gains tax are worked out from the allotment date and payments made.
