First of all when I was buying the property, I didn't get any leverage for being a filer and I paid 2% CVT and 3% Stamp Duty.

So there is no half CVT and Stamp Duty for the filer.

I gave Rs:58000 as CVT and Rs:87000 Stamp Duty on the DC value. The plot was of Rs:5550000 and after paying the Taxes, dealers commission and the service charges, it coast me Rs:5754500. I invested all I have to gain few quick lacks as this government has not been able to provide employment to us. The only thing I figured out to take advantage of the Lahore's booming property.

So after two months I can sale the plot at Rs:5800000, on which I will be giving the gain tax this tax that tax. at 10% I will be giving again 4 lacks to the government on its DC value only if they haven't revised the old DC value.

So I am totally in loss. The average man who tried to earn his bread and butter got looted again by the government. And now please don't tell me that I should claim it, as we all know the system here.

So dear who ever thinks that the government is doing fine and it would help the country is totally wrong or they are the supporters of PML N or the property players who don't want investors to give it a thought and calculate it by themselves.

when you transfer a property it should not be sold unless you have gained about 25%, Best way is to deal in 3 months Biana time or keep File open if Society allows you, The Tax will be same in This Govt or even more in any other coming Govts. Take into account an average Policeman is taking about a million Rs annual salary if you take into account all benefits.

LOYAL PAKISTANI replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 03:25 AM PST 

Jameel sab

You are right. Point is that any other govt will make it the toughest as Imran says all investors are thieves and we will charge them properly.

But our people are so simple.

Pakistan® replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 03:43 AM PST 

agreed with JameelMughal

this only means that investors have to hold their properties for longer

sorry if you had to sell off your property due to some emergency

purpose of this property taxes is only to control flippers ...

Salman.A® replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 04:18 AM PST 

First of all Property is an INVESTMENT not monthly bread and butter.

To make property your bread and butter you need to start dealing in property with office, where you will charge commissions and buy plots on BIANA along with your investors to make some money.

As an ordinary investor in Property please listen to jameel mughal sb. advice. at least gain 25% and then sell it. Also plan for long term holding power.

Lastly you paid extra stamp duty because of laziness of your dealer and you not being aware of the rules and taxes. It is not the fault of the government. And yes you can claim back your taxes which are with held with the government. Usually cash is not taken back but extra taxes are adjusted in your yearly returns. Any lawyer can do that on your behalf.

Any investor who thinks he is TARZAN of property and can make quick millions by shuffling his property every month is living in a fools paradise.

Please don't bash short term investors I am also earning my bread and butter through short term investments but my dear prime minister has made is impossible for me.

Not Registred Yes replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 08:39 AM PST 

I paid the CVT at 2% of the DC value and 3% Stamp Duty of the DC value. When I asked my dealer that what leverage I will get as a tax filer, he told me that it's same for the filer and non filer.


At what percent the filer is charged? Please elaborate!

Not tegistered yet replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 08:45 AM PST 

At what percentage the CVT and Stamp Duty is charged from the tax filer?

Because I did ask my dealer to confirm it for me but he told me that its same for the filer and non filer at the time of purchase.

Subhan replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 01:20 PM PST 

@ Not Registered Yet :

Ofcourse, pious fleet of politicians in combined opposition are likely to provide jobs to every jobless, withdraw all taxes, especially CVT + Stamp Duty, if they get into power. They would be true representation of whole nation, a nation which is sum total of you and me and who are undoubtedly more pious than anyone else on the whole Earth. Current regime lacks representation of national character, therefore, must step down.

ayla replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 01:31 PM PST 

Non filer has to pay advance tax .i bought a plot in dha 7and paid 84thousand advance tax .it cost me 5 lacks to transfer plot in my name. My husband is afiler though

Hello.
I'm interested in 5 marla off ground plots C and D blocks in bahria orchard as they are around 30 - 33 LACS while considering on ground plots are above 40 LACS.

Please suggest whether it is a good buy for short term or not?

Regards

Kureshi® replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 01:00 AM PST 

Prices have taken a paus in Orchard. Best time to buy.

Better to buy on ground plots. Off ground may give you better results at the cost of your sleep.

Go for C , D , J and southern 8 Marla.

DHA BHAWALPUR

Hi
Dear all
Can anyone shed some light on DHA BHAWALPUR as transfer already starts in LAHORE and starting in Islamabad and karachi soon
Is it a good news in terms of price appreciation?

Valued suugestion / opinions will be highly appreciated...

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Sunday, June 19, 2016 03:43 AM PST 

Time to catch file ASAP. You can find many low budget options but you can't find this much secure as well as low budget investment option. Instead of keeping money in Bank, much better park in file shape. Take few lac margin and come out.

Your experience of Invertor AC

A bit different topic,

I am in process of replacing AC in My home in Pakistan to invertor AC there are many in Market ranging from 58 to 70 , I have read in detail and know how they work I would like to get the experience of forum members based on the brand they used. especially who also have electronics Knowledge Few Questions are...

What is meant by This Ac is not full invertor and use AC as as starter?? Can this AC take start easily on 180 to 190 Volts what I Understand starter only Kick for 0.5 Second should not be an imapct on bill.

If some one have checked Amperes of AC How much these fall when desired cooling is achieved, I am interested in Knowing the experience based on the brand you have installed.
My Electrician is recommending Kenwood 60K it is cheaper too but I think its presence is less for after sale repair etc as Compared to Haier which is 70K.

Kureshi® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:00 PM PST 

Jameel Sb,only go for Panasonic , Ascon and Gree in order of priority. I am using Gree and Panasonic for past 2 years when no body appreciated Inverter technology.

These seem expensive (78 to 100K) but worth the price.

User_9325® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:49 PM PST 

my parents are using gree for one year. dont know the technical details but they are satisfied

Faiz® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 06:54 PM PST 

Dear
As already Jamil Sab put a unrelated question so i will take advantage of this,
Actually I am constructing new house and some companies advice to install proper ducting and water evaporator system mostly from china and (breezair) from Austerlia. They put one unit at roof and cool the air like traditional air cooler and deliver to rooms by regular duct.It is recommended becz it is energy efficient and cool your whole house including kitchen and lounge but it will not work in monsoon weather..
thanks
If anybody have experience please comment

Afzaal Aslam replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 07:52 PM PST 

Jameel Bhai, Assalim-o-Alikum,
i have bought Orient invertor AC two year before,a horrible experience,stop working after two months,
contact orient service, they said there are three kits inside unit, one of them stop working and warranty did not cover that. first they asked they will try to repair it then eventually suggest to replace it. paid 24 thousands no warranty was given again of these parts, after couple of weeks again stop working, please avoid orients investor if possible.

RavianGik® replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 08:28 PM PST 

I am an Air Conditioning Engineer. I have done comparisons of reputed three brands in terms of initial cost - life cycle cost

The best turned out to be Daikin Brand {Its Japanese Technology assembled in Malaysia}. Gree and Panasonic using all Chinese parts but Daikin still use thai or Malaysian parts.

We have Daikin ac in offices and working since 1987 and giving ultimate performance.

Please whenever you go ask for Daikin Malaysian models FT or FN series and inverter type . Initial cost high but their distributor very good in Pakistan MIA group who also market ACSON brand.

Daikin also economical as parts failure rate is negligible.

thank you

Basharat replied on Saturday, June 18, 2016 08:55 PM PST 

We recently installed Gree 1600 BTU and Samsung 1800 BTU, DC inverter ACs at home. Samsung till now look better than Gree. Gree cost us Rs 63000 and Samsung Rs 89000/- Samsung is made in Thiland.

DHA Prism Investment

I want to buy DHA Prism one Kanal in the budget of at max 10M. The purpose is investment only.

Which blocks of the Prism should be preferred in the current scenario? Prism side near Ring Road GHF or the ACDP
I need the expert opinion that is this the right time to invest in the current market situation as the property in Prism is having a higher end prices. Prices in Prism top location are even in comparison to DHA-8 S block, if you add the development charges.
