Mailsi, in Vehari district near the Sutlej and the Mailsi siphon, is a cotton and wheat tehsil with ginning factories, a grain market and farms watered from the canals of the Sutlej valley.
Cotton Ginning
Mailsi's ginners buy seed cotton during the picking season and sell lint to spinning mills that withhold tax. Their monthly sales tax filings and annual income tax return should tell the same story. Seasonal labour, electricity and freight are the main costs, and gins are depreciated.
The Grain Market
Arhtis earn commission on wheat and cotton sold for farmers. Advances to farmers before harvest are receivables on 30 June.
Input Dealers
Seed, fertiliser and pesticide dealers sell on credit to farmers. Companies withhold tax on supplies, at higher rates for dealers not on the Active Taxpayers List.
Farmers
Cotton and wheat from family land are agricultural income. Families with a side business such as tractor hire report it separately.
Employees
Teachers and officials have salary tax withheld.
Shops
Shops in the bazaar keep supplier bills and daily sales.
Tubewells and Solar Pumps
Farmers who sell tubewell water to neighbours by the hour earn business income from the pump, separate from their crops.
Land Leased on Theka
Cash rent from leasing out farmland is agricultural income for the owner.
Property
Plots in Mailsi and Vehari cost less in advance tax for active filers.
Teachers and Officials
Salaried residents copy their salary certificates and claim excess withholding.
Those who also teach privately declare academy fees separately.
