Gojra, in Toba Tek Singh district on the railway between Faisalabad and Multan, is known for its grain market, its hockey tradition and the farms of the surrounding canal colonies. Its tax questions involve arhtis, flour and rice mills, shops and salaried residents.
The Grain Market
Gojra's grain market handles wheat, maize, rice and cotton from surrounding villages. Arhtis earn commission on what they sell for farmers. Their income is that commission, less rent, staff and other costs, and advances given to farmers before harvest are assets at 30 June. Flour mills and exporters buying through the arhtis pay through banks and deduct tax, which the arhti claims as credit.
Flour and Rice Mills
Mills in and around Gojra buy grain, process it and sell flour or rice to distributors. Their profit is sales less raw material, power, wages and depreciation. Mills with sales above the threshold are registered for sales tax, and their income tax and sales tax figures should agree.
Farmers of the Canal Colonies
Wheat, sugarcane and cotton grown on the colony lands are agricultural income, outside federal income tax. Farmers who keep a tractor for hire or run a seed dealership report that business separately.
Shops and Services
Shops in the main bazaar keep supplier bills, daily takings and a stock count. Restaurants and some other services register with PRA.
Salaried Residents
Teachers, railway staff and bank employees have tax deducted from salary and file to record property and claim any excess deduction.
Sports Goods and Academies
Coaching academies and sports shops linked to the town's hockey tradition are small businesses whose fee and sales records support their returns.
