Filer or non-filer in Punjab
A non-filer buying a Rs 1 crore house in Lahore pays Rs 1,050,000 under 236K instead of Rs 125,000, a difference of Rs 925,000 on one deal. Getting on the FBR Active Taxpayer List before the transfer is almost always cheaper.
Which value is used
Tax is usually charged on the FBR valuation or DC rate of the property, or the declared price if higher. Check the latest FBR valuation table for your area before you budget.
Filer or non-filer
Non-filers pay much higher rates on property transfers. Becoming a filer before buying or selling can save lakhs on a single deal.
