The old Rawalpindi airport area around Chaklala retains businesses and housing built when it was the twin cities' main airport, now adapting to life after commercial flights moved to the new airport. Our clients here are hospitality businesses, travel agents and residents.
Travel Agents
Travel agencies near the old airport sell tickets and Umrah and tour packages. Their income is commission and service charges; ticket money passed to airlines is not income. Travel agency services may be taxable under the Punjab law.
Hotels and Guest Houses
Hotels that once relied on airport traffic now serve other visitors. Room and food services are taxable under the Punjab law, and occupancy records support returns.
Businesses That Changed
Car rentals, parking and catering firms that served the airport have shifted activities. Assets sold or written off should be recorded in the year it happened.
Residents
Families in the surrounding schemes file salaried returns and declare rent from portions.
Getting Started
Travel agents should share sales reports and airline statements; hotels their occupancy and revenue records; residents their salary and property documents. We prepare the returns.
Umrah and Tour Operators
Operators organising Umrah and tours collect package payments that cover flights, hotels and transport. Only their margin is income. Package records listing each traveller, the amounts paid to airlines and hotels and the operator's charge make this clear. Advances received before travel should be tracked so income is recognised in the right year.
