Charitable donations
Zakat payments
Filernow’s tax professionals ensure you claim all applicable deductions to reduce your taxable income legally.

3. Invest in Tax-Exempt Instruments
You can save tax by investing in government-approved saving schemes like:
Behbood Savings Certificates
Pensioner’s Benefit Accounts
Mutual funds and insurance policies
These investments not only help in tax saving but also grow your wealth over time. Filernow offers personalized financial consultation for such investments.
4. Declare Zakat and Donations Properly
In Pakistan, Zakat is a 100% deductible expense. By declaring your zakat donations with proof, you can significantly lower your taxable income.
Filernow ensures proper documentation and adjustment of charity-related deductions according to the Income Tax Ordinance.
5. Maintain a Clear Wealth Statement
Submitting an accurate wealth statement is crucial. If your assets and liabilities are not properly declared, it can result in FBR notices and penalties.
With Filernow, your wealth reconciliation is handled by experts who ensure everything is aligned with legal standards.
6. Utilize Tax Credits and Rebates
The FBR allows tax credits for:
Tuition fees of children
Investment in shares
Investment in pension funds
Payments of life insurance premiums
Most people miss out on these credits due to lack of awareness. Filernow helps you benefit from every available tax rebate.
7. Choose the Right Tax Regime
