Business accounts
Profit and loss and balance sheet prepared or reviewed.
We prepare income tax returns for sole proprietors, self-employed professionals, partnership firms and other AOPs: business accounts turned into a tax computation, every withholding credit claimed, partners' shares reported consistently and wealth statements that reconcile.
For sole proprietors and professionals, business income sits inside an individual return, next to personal income and a wealth statement. For partnerships and other AOPs, the firm files its own return and each partner reports their share. Either way, business and personal figures have to reconcile.
Under section 118 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, returns for individuals and AOPs are due by 30 September for the tax year ending 30 June. A business return starts from the business's accounts: income, admissible expenses, tax depreciation on business assets and any minimum tax that applies under the law. Tax withheld by customers, banks and utility companies is then claimed against the liability, and advance tax is reconciled.
For an individual, the business's assets, liabilities and drawings must agree with the wealth statement under section 116. For an AOP, the firm's return and the partners' returns must report the same profit shares. We prepare the business side and the personal side together, using records from our bookkeeping service or your own, and coordinate with our individual tax return and AOP registration services.
