The biggest question these days often asked is whether to file or not to file?
Let us tell you that it is the most important time from financial point of view. Every person has the query about is it better to pay the taxes or not to do so, some even do not have the basic knowledge of eligible and not eligible criteria – as is the case with most of us. That is the reason we have compiled this article to highlight the features of all the File Tax procedure and criteria, which can be done in a number of ways.
If you are the one who wants to get better services at various government offices and public places. Even if you want to get a new house or even a vehicle at a comparatively lower price. Or even if you want to pay negligibly small amount of withholding tax on your transactions? If your answer to all these questions is in affirmative, then this article has been written for you and you should read it with intense care.
You must Decide Fast, before it is too late!
Indeed, some decisions have to be took fast and in time otherwise their efficacy demolishes with time. Same is the case with the moment of decision in Tax File perspective. 30th November 2018 is the last day for filing tax returns and you must decide before it is too late to submit.

In the same way a filer will have to pay nothing in case he immovable property. But a non-filer will not be able to even buy an immovable property worth more than PKR 5 million. It is a great benefit for those who are potential investors in the real estate sector.
Benefits for Importers
In that case too, a filer will have much more benefits as per imports of raw material and goods. A filer will have to pay just 5.5% in the form of taxes. On the other hand, commercial imports would certainly require 6% of taxes to be paid.
The non-filer will suffer here too, in case of raw material imports the tax to be paid will be 8%. Also, the commercial imports would fit 9% in the form of taxes.
Same is the case in terms of Dividends where a Filer will be taxed just 12.5% on his or her dividends, but the Non-filer will have to pay tax of 15% on all his dividends.
Banking and Saving Schemes for Filer and Non-Filer

In the same way the following rules may apply on the conditions stated along with:
