Are you a business owner in Pakistan? Then understanding how Net Profit Tax works is crucial to avoid penalties and stay FBR-compliant. Net profit tax is calculated on the profit after expenses — not on your total income.
At FilerNow, we help businesses file their income tax returns properly by calculating actual net profits and applying all allowable deductions and credits.
What is Net Profit Tax?
It’s the tax charged on your business’s net profit – i.e., total income minus business expenses such as rent, salaries, utilities, fuel, internet, etc.
Example:
If your total income is PKR 1,000,000 and your expenses are PKR 400,000, tax will be calculated on the remaining PKR 600,000.
