Shah Faisal Colony near Drigh Road and the airport is a long-established residential area of government employees, airline and railway staff and small businesses. Our clients here are salaried employees, retirees and shopkeepers.
Government and Public Sector Employees
Many residents work or worked for the federal government, the airline and the railways. Their salary tax is deducted monthly and they receive detailed pay slips. Filing a return claims any excess deductions and keeps them on the Active Taxpayers List.
Retirees
Government pension and commutation are exempt, but profit on the savings that many retirees keep in banks and National Savings is taxable through withholding. Being an active filer keeps that deduction at the lower rate.
Shopkeepers and Small Businesses
Shops and service businesses on the colony's main roads keep purchase records and claim electricity bill tax. Most are small, and a simple return is enough.
Families Helping Children Buy Property
Retired parents often help children buy flats with commutation money. The gift should be shown in both the parent's and the child's wealth statements, ideally made through a bank transfer.
| Resident | Main benefit of filing |
|---|---|
| Serving employee | Refund of excess salary tax |
| Retiree | Lower tax on savings profit |
| Shopkeeper | Electricity bill tax credit |
Getting Started
For serving employees, the salary certificate and bank tax certificates are usually enough. Retirees should add their pension statement and National Savings certificates; shopkeepers their purchase bills and electricity bills. We prepare the return within a day or two and explain each figure.
If you are planning to buy property or a vehicle soon, file first so your name is on the Active Taxpayers List before the transaction.
