Sammundri, south of Faisalabad, is a tehsil of canal-colony farms, power-loom sheds, a grain market and sugarcane fields, closely tied to Faisalabad's textile economy.
Power Looms Working for Faisalabad
Sheds across Sammundri run power looms that weave grey cloth for Faisalabad's processors and exporters. Many weave on conversion: the processor supplies the yarn and pays a charge per metre. The weaver's income is that conversion charge, less electricity, wages, sizing and repairs, with looms depreciated. Weavers who buy their own yarn and sell cloth have a fuller set of accounts and, above the threshold, sales tax obligations. Processors who want to claim input tax prefer registered weavers.
The Grain Market
Sammundri's arhtis handle wheat, cotton and sugarcane for growers. Commission less shop costs is income; advances to farmers before harvest are receivables on 30 June. Flour mills paying through banks withhold tax.
Sugarcane
Cane from family land sold to mills is agricultural income. Haulage for others is business income, withheld by the mills.
Commuters to Faisalabad
Workers in Faisalabad's mills and offices have salary tax withheld and file to claim excess deductions.
Shops
Shops in the bazaar keep supplier bills and daily sales.
Property
Plots in Sammundri and Faisalabad cost less in advance tax for active filers.
Transporters
Truck owners carrying cloth and grain to Faisalabad keep freight records and claim the token tax.
Their vehicles are depreciated.
Loom owners also list their sheds in the wealth statement.
