Toba Tek Singh is a farming district in central Punjab, with Gojra and Kamalia as its other main towns and a long tradition of cotton and textile work. Most of our clients here are landowners, power-loom and textile operators, grain traders and families with relatives abroad.
This page covers Toba Tek Singh farmers, Gojra textiles and remittances. For the full district guide, see tax consultant in Toba Tek Singh.
Farmers and Grain Traders
Crop income is taxed by the Punjab government, not FBR, but it must still be declared on the federal return as exempt agricultural income. Grain traders (arhtis) in the district's mandis are different: commission and trading profit is business income taxed by FBR. Arhtis also deal with large cash flows during wheat and cotton seasons, so a basic record of commissions earned and payments passed on to growers is important.
Textile Workshops in Gojra and Kamalia
Small weaving and textile units are common in the district. For these businesses the main tax points are:
| Issue | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Electricity bills | Commercial and industrial bills carry advance income tax, which is adjustable if you file |
| Yarn purchases | Supplier invoices support your cost of production |
| Sales to bigger mills or exporters | Buyers may deduct tax and demand your NTN |
| Sales tax | Some manufacturers fall under the federal sales tax net |
The advance tax on your factory electricity bill is lost money if you do not file a return. It is one of the easiest credits to claim.
Families with Members Abroad
Many Toba Tek Singh families receive remittances from the Gulf and Europe and use them to build houses or buy land. Remittances through banks are not the receiver's taxable income, but the assets they fund appear in the wealth statement, and the remittance slips are the evidence of where the money came from.

Everything is handled remotely. Send your CNIC, bank statements, electricity bills for the business and any sale or purchase records on WhatsApp 0328-4675162. We prepare the return and explain it before submission. Current fees are on our pricing page.
Livestock and Dairy Income
Many families in the district keep buffaloes and cows and sell milk to collectors or dairy companies. Small-scale livestock income linked to the farm is usually treated alongside agriculture, while a commercial dairy or milk collection business is generally business income taxed by FBR. We look at how your operation runs before deciding where the income belongs.
