Tandlianwala, south of Faisalabad near the Ravi, is a tehsil of sugarcane, cotton and wheat farms, sugar mills and a grain market, with many residents working in Faisalabad's textile industry.
Sugar Mills and the Crushing Season
The sugar mills around Tandlianwala shape the town's year. From November to March, tractor-trolleys queue at the mill gates with cane from the surrounding villages. A grower's cane is agricultural income, outside federal income tax, whether he delivers it himself or not. Families who haul cane for neighbours, contractors who supply labour to the mill yard and dealers selling parts and bags to the mills earn business income, and the mills withhold income tax from each payment at a lower rate for active filers. Mill employees, from cane clerks to engineers, have salary tax withheld.
Late Cane Payments
Mills sometimes pay growers months after delivery. The cane income is still agricultural; amounts owed on 30 June are receivables in the grower's wealth statement.
The Grain Market
Arhtis handle wheat and cotton for growers, earning commission. Loans to growers before harvest are receivables, and flour mills' withholding is claimed.
Riverine Land Along the Ravi
Farms in the kacha belt grow wheat and fodder; flood years change field boundaries, so land records should be kept current.
Commuters to Faisalabad
Workers in Faisalabad's mills and offices have salary tax withheld and file to claim any excess.
Shops
Shopkeepers keep supplier bills from Faisalabad and daily sales.
