SOLE PROPRIETORS, AOPS & COMPANIES
Business income isn’t taxed the same way as a salary — sole proprietors, AOPs (partnerships), and companies each follow their own rate schedule under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, with separate deadlines: September 30 for individuals and AOPs, December 31 for companies with a June year-end. Miss it, and you lose your Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status along with the lower withholding rates that come with it. At Chartered Associates, we file business tax returns correctly and on time, whatever your business structure.
- Business Income Computation: We calculate your taxable business income using the rate schedule that actually applies to business individuals, AOPs, or companies — not the salaried slab.
- Wealth Statement & Reconciliation: For sole proprietors and AOPs, we reconcile your declared wealth with your business income so your return doesn't raise red flags.
- On-Time Filing Before Deadline: We file before your applicable deadline to protect your Active Taxpayer List status and avoid late-filing penalties.
- Record-Keeping Support: We help you maintain the accounting records FBR requires, reducing your exposure if a notice or audit comes later.
BUSINESS TAX FILING SOLUTIONS
FBR is cross-checking business returns against banking data and digital invoicing records more closely than ever, which means small inconsistencies get flagged faster than they used to. At Chartered Associates, we prepare your business tax return around your actual accounting records — not estimates — so what you file matches what FBR can already see, and you stay ahead of notices rather than reacting to them.
Sole Proprietor & AOP Return Filing
We prepare and file returns for sole proprietors and Associations of Persons, applying the correct business rate schedule and reconciling your wealth statement against your reported income.
Company Income Tax Return Filing
For private limited and other companies, we prepare your return alongside your financial statements, keeping your FBR filing consistent with what’s submitted to SECP.
Late Filing & Backlog Recovery
If you’ve missed a deadline or have unfiled prior years, we help you file the backlog, restore your ATL status, and manage any resulting penalty exposure.
FBR Notice & Audit Response
If your business return triggers a query or audit notice, we prepare the documentation and response needed to resolve it efficiently.
