Liaquatabad is a densely populated central Karachi district known for its furniture market, small workshops and busy bazaars. Most of our Liaquatabad clients are furniture makers and dealers, shopkeepers, artisans and families with modest incomes.
The Furniture Trade
Liaquatabad's furniture market combines workshops that build furniture with showrooms that sell it. A workshop's profit depends on wood, hardware and labour costs; a showroom's on purchase price and sale price. Many businesses do both. Simple job cards for each order and a record of material purchases are enough to work out profit.
Artisans and Small Workshops
Carpenters, upholsterers and polishers often work on contract for showrooms. Their income is what they are paid, less materials and tools. Most earn modest amounts, but registering and filing helps them get bank accounts and supplier credit.
Shopkeepers in the Bazaar
General stores and garment shops in Liaquatabad's markets mostly deal in cash. Keeping purchase bills and a monthly summary of sales, along with electricity bills, forms an adequate basis for a return.
Selling to Companies
Furniture makers who supply offices, hotels or schools may find these buyers deduct income tax on payments and ask for an NTN. These deductions are credits, so keep every payment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Liaquatabad furniture workshop calculate profit?
Sales minus wood, hardware, labour and workshop costs, supported by job cards and purchase bills.
Do artisans working for showrooms need to file?
If their income is above the threshold, yes; filing also helps with bank accounts and credit even below it.
Why did a company deduct tax from my furniture payment?
Companies are withholding agents for certain payments. The deduction is a credit you claim in your return.
Is filing worthwhile for a small Liaquatabad shop below the taxable limit?
Yes. It costs little, gives access to the lower filer rates and helps when opening bank accounts or seeking supplier credit.
