The Maripur Road corridor in west Karachi is lined with truck stands, container yards, workshops and goods transport offices that link the port with the rest of the country. Our clients from Maripur are transporters, workshop owners and logistics staff.
Goods Transport Companies
Transport offices along Maripur Road book trucks for importers and manufacturers. Some own fleets; others act as brokers between clients and independent truck owners. A fleet owner's income is freight less running costs; a broker's income is the margin. Mixing the two in one bank account without records causes problems at filing time.
Truck Owners
Individual truck owners pay advance income tax with their annual vehicle tax, based on the vehicle's capacity, and may have tax deducted on freight by corporate clients. Both are credits against their annual liability, but only if they file.
Container Yards and Workshops
Yards that store containers and workshops that repair trucks and trailers provide services and may fall under Sindh sales tax on services. Their customers, often logistics companies, will usually ask for registration numbers.
Records That Work
A trip book showing date, route, client, freight and payment is the most useful single record for any transporter.
| Client | What income is |
|---|---|
| Fleet owner | Freight less fuel, tolls, salaries and repairs |
| Broker | Margin between client freight and truck hire |
| Truck owner | Freight received less running costs |
| Workshop | Repair charges less parts and wages |
