Hi,
I have paid the following taxes when I bought the 1 Kanal plot in phase 7 last year.

CVT= 80000
Stamp Duty= 120000
Adv Tax= 80000

Could anyone explain how much taxes I need to pay if I buy the 1 kanal plot in phase 7 now as per the new Tax rates. I found myself on Active taxpayer list also.

Thanks

Jameel Mughal® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 08:48 PM PST 

Total Tax will reach about 2+3+4=9% of new DC Rate or non Filers,add DHA Transfer, membership fees and Commission about 1.25 Lac More than previous

Dear brother

profit or gain is 120-90 lac= 30 lac

10% of profit=3lac you have to pay while you file your tax return

Tahir Ch. replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 03:55 PM PST 

Sir g majority are non-filers so what formulla will be implemented on such cases.

ZM replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 04:23 PM PST 

Dear Tahir Ch,

The 10% tax applies to filers only. Non filers will pay more as compared to filers at the time of transfer. Moreover the CGT will depend on time the property was owned, there is no CGT for more then 5 years.

Thanks and kind regards

Shah® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 05:10 PM PST 

brothers, you have an incorrect assumption on the magnitude of problem here.3 lac tax is not that big an issue on a gain of 30 lac.

the real problem is:
almost nobody declares the real value of plot at the time of buying but mention the DC value. So in above example, chances are that the owner never declared the actual price of plot (90 lac) at the time of buying but mentioned the DC rate (which was lets suppose 25 or 29 lac). So the gain FBR is going to calculate for you is not 120-90 = 30 lac

rather it will be
120-29 = 91 lac

on which 10% tax is 9 lac.

and that, dear brothers is the real problem :)

Arif M® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 05:33 PM PST 

Shah, I have also been thinking of this. How will determine purchase
prices of deals done in past. If they determine it by DC rate then there will be great difference. Which can translate into high amount of capital gain tax.

I wonder what will happen with buyer who has 10 million in hand which he get from sale of a plot. But that plot was sold on DC rate (say amount was 40 lac). So according to FBR only those 40 lac are white. Rest of 60 lac is black money. This is irritating situation. Govt should implement this policy for future. Not past. otherwise there will be too many issues for buyers and sellers.

humayun replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 07:19 PM PST 

So on purchase deed always write actual amount in which this plot was bought

I highly doubt that FBR has no idea whats going on in Bahria as they just get their share and keep quiet. in current situation Bahria can become safe heaven for black money as in DHA now FBR will get involved ?

Ref: Post 84181 - Transferring Money from Overseas

Dear Jameel Sb & others, very informative discussion is going on and thank you and others to explain this matter in detail.

I have a question, Lets suppose if someone have transferred 1 crore Rs to Pakistan in last 3-4 years and since then by doing buying selling activity and by earning profits all investments are doubled by now, How it will look in the eyes of FBR authorities as If he have only proof of remittances of 1 crore whereas now market value is doubled and there is another fact that many times we do not make the legal agreement of buying selling and just do the transfers and do the settlements by Pay order.

Moreover, just confirm if we can get all PRC certificates from Bank Branch itself or need to go to State Bank as I heard from someone that PRC should be applied in State Bank. Further, what if we used to transfer money to some bank account which is closed now.


Thank you in advance.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 01:10 AM PST 

It is very easy, you can prove that Plot # 1 was purchased with Foreign remittance, and Was Sold in This Much Money [You must have Copy of sale deed,also called full payment receipt on stamp paper. with Pay order Copy which you received from the buying party] and then you can tell my money has been growing Like this, If you did not keep any of these which is near impossible then you can be in trouble. Still You may get in touch with bank to track the pay order transaction.
In case you received major amount by cash then you will in trouble.

Coming to other question till date, FBR is picking random cases they send you a notice and you prove the source of Money, However if you want to be a Filer and declare all your assets then trouble will be solved for ever, Though you will have to
update the Filing every year.

The Whole concern at this point is that other than random pick up any new transaction in property will be automatically in the priority of FBI Probe, Both parties will be questioned to prove the source, this will decrease the number of transactions and slow down the business, people will not lose by paying few more lacs of fees but this issue will reverse the price growth. Seller may give only 5 lac Gain tax but get 20 Lac less value of Property though both patties have all white money

Try to understand last papgraph

Adeel Khan® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 02:42 AM PST 

Thank you very much for detailed reply. I got your hidden message which you conveyed by putting assumed figures and using the term of fees. That will be much practical and is possible with the mutual understanding of both parties which I believe no one will refuse.
Now lets see one scenario:
- Plot purchased 6 months ago with the price of 1 crore
- DC rate of plot as on is 3,500,000/-
- Market Value as on is 10,000,000/-
If FBR asks for the source there are 3 docs which can be presented
1- Sale Deed OR
2- Pay Order copy OR
3- Bank Statement of issuing the PO in case both above are not available

In above case is there any possibility that we can show less value of purchase price? Like Plot purchased at some price slightly higher than DC RATE? As currently standard practice is that seller is putting more value whereas buyer is putting less value in sale deed to avoid taxation. How it will be successful if one is Filer and other is Non filer. Can both escape tax?
I understand if both are filer then both can be in trouble if verified by FBR, Am I right?

Thanks

@Jameel Mughal sb,
Appreciate your contribution on this forum.
Referring to middle paragraph of your reply,, does it mean that no questions will be asked for source of income if one become filer today and declares all his assets.

Secondly if I was sending money to my friend's account and was paying by PO from that account to buy property on my name.. will it be considered white money?
Thanks

Correction:
Referring to middle paragraph of your reply,, does it mean that no questions will be asked for source of income(FOR PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT ASSETS) if one become filer today and declares all his assets.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 05:37 AM PST 

@ Ks I am seriously thinking of Filing Tax and declaring assets, The Only down side is wealth tax, which is not in practice in Pakistan, It is also not in practice in 70% of the western world usually it is 0.5 to 1 % of Total assets annually, It was in Practice in 90s. Staying in Pakistan it will be quite difficult for retired overseas person to give this Tax. For example net worth is 8 Cror, and 8 Lac Tax cant be paid easily unless you start selling property. However still is not there.
@ Asif If you attach supporting Documents scans there should be no issues but all sorts of Filing is reviewed and approved by FBR officers. It is better you consult some expert for that. There after next year there should no change as you will just updating your file.
If your friend paid pay orders on Your behalf then it is white and can be proved, However a bit of expertise is needed at time of filing.
Best Thing in My account overseas, my account in Pakistan and property in my name.
Adeel khan DC rates at 40 and Property Purchase shown at 60, in Filing is an issue but not "major issue" a different Dept can
contact you to pay remaining amount of CVT etc or Not at all if you reach someone in office.
Now onward if DC rate remains in practice I will advise the buyers to make 2 pay orders one exactly same as DC rate and other remaining amount, This will help to Make Documentation easier in Future and you have option to declare 40 lac [DC value]or 60 Lac whatever you like.
Properties pchased in Past FBR cant tell you that shown amont is les sthan Market rate but in future they can.

Adeel Khan® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 08:18 AM PST 

Jameel Sb many thanks for detailed explanation on all above.
As you have mentioned about wealth tax, if lets suppose out of 8 crore your house is worth 4 crore for your personal use and you are paying property tax and luxury tax also on that, is that also could possibly be subject to wealth tax alongwith balance part of wealth which is 4 crore.
I agree that this is major concern if such tax is proposed again in future which we never know.
Thanks.

Jameel Mughal® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 04:26 PM PST 

Your House, car or every thing is your assets, However it is possible that bracket start from 2 Cror, However it is Not in Practice in Pakistan so useless to discuss, In the Countries where it was Present, it resulted in Capital Flight having negative impact on economy hence even many western Countries abolished it.
Recently Switzerland reinstated it @ 1% rate after certain limit there is lot of criticism the main victims will be Swiss account holders .

mindset

what is the confusion capital gain tax on revised dc rates will be implemented on each transaction less than five years old actually the mindset of our investors and people in pakistan is that they are not ready to pay any tax whatsoever and you can check the active tax payer list of fbr and you find very limited people who are filers rest majority of people commenting here are non filers and wants to remain non filers for ever how is this possible bhai you need to understand that each and every citizen 18 years old in canada and america are made to file their returns via internet there is absolute no hiding of income or profits or gain it is a serious crime there so my dear we should also bring everybody in tax net and start paying taxes all these countries are being run on taxes . people commenting here are all non tax payers and they abuse for one reason or another :pkf

Nadeem confusion isnt revised DC rate but FBR and state bank officials evaluating your property every time you buy and sell and bullying you for money trail.
This sounds fair in a western system but hopefully when you have to deal with an FBR clerk or officer in Pak, you will know what i mean!

Unfortunately thats all not happening in our country whereas all is in practice in those countries u mentioned above. otherwise i believe no one would try escaping from paying due taxes if he gets in return all above against our paid tax.
Thats the point.

LOYAL PAKISTANI replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 02:39 AM PST 

We should realize now that govt is doing remarkable developments in every walk of life. That is why the property is increasing so rapidly but problem starts when we are not ready to pay a single penny from our profit.

Please be practically sincere with Pakistan. Our army is helping out our country so zarb e azb going on. Govt needs funds to meet its expenses.

We should not follow drama by opposition. This is the time to do support our army our govt to move our country ahead of crises once for all.

I'm looking bright future of Pakistan.

Ahmad786® replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 06:51 AM PST 

People pay CVT and CGT even now so don't say people done give taxes. DC rate is a standard proving mechanism without much hassle.The government the self kept DC rate lower than market since it helps government when they buy plots. Even now they did not abolish DC rates. Can't you see that Government is dishonest here? People pay taxes even when they buy a needle. No country in whole world charge 17% sales tax but our government does. They deduct 25% from my salary straight away and they still keep on taxing me on my tax payey money. Do you think that makes sense?

Please try registering your nick just like we all did.

Ali.Bianco replied on Monday, July 4, 2016 08:16 AM PST 

I pay abt 30 millions in taxes each year and every year budget kills me more , they dnt treat tax payer a citizen rather consider him atm machine. Now fbr people also big problem sending notices on usess issues due to extra powers and you have to pay them under the table... Govt should make system simple and tax scales at realistic levels to get tax . Musharraf's time economy was much better due to relived taxes and good amount of business and stable exchange rates. This govt is just want thirs force to come in and kick them out so that they can become "siasi shaheed" because due to loans now it is not easy to govern country...

M Zahid® replied on Sunday, July 3, 2016 06:46 PM PST 

Usama,
DC rates are revised every year or so. There is no surprise in that as you can see market price is about 3 to 4 times higher.

SBP evaluation would be fraught with anomalies. It will be hard for an organisation to survey every area of the country to give rates. That mean equivalent of Patwar organisation or may be bigger organisation than that. How will the fix higher price while there are plots next to graveyard, nallah facing commercial etc.
Other scenario is that govt asks buyer seller to declare market value and refer sample cases to SBP evaluation
team to verify the declared value. In case of under declaration penalties and fines etc.
Looks like more doors of corruption will open

MALIK® replied on Sunday, July 3, 2016 06:50 PM PST 

So many properties are bought and sold everyday how will they evaluate on a daily basis, it will be chaos , I think IMF should directly tell the people of Pakistan which rules to follow it will save alot of time.

User_3629® replied on Sunday, July 3, 2016 08:02 PM PST 

There will be no change in the methodology of collecting withholding advance taxes, stamp duty and CVT. All the above will be calculated on the basis of DC rates as being done currently.
The change has been brought in section 68 of income tax ordinance regarding Capital gains tax.
Therefore DC rates are required for calculation of advance income tax, stamp duty and CVT.

Advices to buyers are sellers

Advices to buyers are sellers
It is human nature that we are inpatient, and that I can clearly see on this Forum, I am sure that buyers will rush to market after Eid to find properties at 2 years old rates and will thoroughly be disappointed that there will be no fall. And I am sure that sellers will remain in denial two there months when they will be convinced that 10 to 15% Gain is made had vaporized,
Nine out of ten people are convinced that there will be correction in market. That is alone enough to cause correction and new Tax need not to play any role. The whole debate is how much correction? how much stagnant period? and when recovery will start, historically all cycles in properties are long. If I am a seller and have inertia at this stage I will be loser. Just if buyer have inertia at time of flying market he have to pay price on each day delay.

In Current situation being both buyer and seller I will not take any decision at least one month. Earliest signs of market slowdown will be FALL IN OWNS AND FILE PRICES. You will never know a commercial in oval Complex has lost 2 Cror as demands will always be same as was in Golden period. If earliest signs of down fall comes then faster seller respond better is it. Suppose you are getting 100 lac for a property in August 16, which was 110 before then chances are it will go further down and for 100 lac price again you may have to wait 3 years. Any laziness will cause more loss. The properties like files commercial files and bigger plots will be losing more than possession plots. Bigger plots will lose more than smaller.

As buyer any delay you make better for you, there will be no panic selling [or only insider will know even if it is happening] and prices will settle down in months and up to a year. As a buyer also I will watch for early signs of slow down and if found I will wait more, The people who want to buy in one year period I will advise them to focus on ready properties. Ready properties always give you less gain in hype but they always lose less in Slump.

Long term holder and planners always enjoy all periods, in hypes they sell and in slumps they pick at right time.

Kureshi® replied on Sunday, July 3, 2016 05:59 PM PST 

I think at this point in time make no attempt to buy or sell. Wait for clarifications on the details and finalization of this ordinance and only then make statements of slump. I am not in state of denial but I have been talking to businessmen, investors and dealers and they all share the view that this law will not be implemented as it is as stakes are too high. DC rates will definitely increase and so will be CGT. It may or may not damage the market but eventually it is to the benefit of the buyer and seller.

Under current system , our white money was being turned to black money because if I buy a plot worth 10 M with my white money,i bhave to write DC value of 30 lac in FBR forms at the time of purchase and same goes in my income tax return. I had asked this question from a dozen dealers and no body was able to answer me and in fact made fun of me, calling me professor or a coward investor. I think when all this settles investment in property will become fairer. However govt must and hopefully will amicably take care of what has been happnonf in past 5 to 10 years and they were a part of this anamoly.

Let's hope for the best and hold your purchase and sale decisions for a while. Hopefully there will be no slump ; only slow down of own madness.

my question is what will the government gain by triggering a slump? slapping of these taxes means Dar and Co wants the market to cool. this will result in less transactions and ultimately less revenue generation for government inspite of higher taxes. Dar is experienced enough to know that the taxes wont increase the revenue. then what is the agenda of governement? why they want to lose billions they are making through Cvts, stamp duties, advance tax, WHT etc ? there must be a hidden agenda? may be now he wants to manipulate real estate market like he is famous for currency market manipulation?

Very good advice for both seller and buyer but have question. How can an overseas spot the difference in demand and deal price. This is inside game and only dealers can know what was asking price and on what deal is being lock. How can an observer spot this earlier even who is away from the market.

Thanks for all the comments @ Kureshi I agree that if Law is revised or made easier then situation will change over night
User i don't Know what Govt is trying to create a slump but they want to get more Taxes and want to Influence DC rates. And also Gain Tax is being revised at the same time. So all will slow down Property. I dont think this is a Conspiracy, but was neither need of time. For a time being only revision of DC rates could had been enough. It is done every year and people were expecting after last year gains. If Govt find it difficult to deal with provinces regarding DC Rates they need to work on it.
