FAQs
Quick answers about taxcalculator.credit/, our calculators and our services. Still stuck? Ask us directly.
Are the calculators on taxcalculator.credit/ really free?
Yes. All six calculators are completely free, with no signup and no usage limits. Your figures are computed inside your browser and never sent to our servers.
How accurate are the calculations?
Calculators use the rates in our published tables – including the FBR-notified 2025-26 salary slabs. They are estimates for planning and guidance. Tax notifications change frequently, so verify important figures against official FBR or provincial notifications, or consult a qualified tax professional.
What is the minimum taxable salary in Pakistan?
For tax year 2025-26, annual salary income up to Rs 600,000 is taxed at 0%. Thresholds change with each Finance Act, so always check the relevant tax year.
Who needs to file an income tax return?
Salaried individuals above the threshold, freelancers and businesses with taxable income, and – strategically – many people below the threshold who want Active Taxpayer status for lower withholding rates on banking, vehicles, property and mobile transactions.
What documents do I need to file?
Typically your CNIC, salary slips or income records, bank statements for the year, and withholding tax certificates (for salary, contracts, bank profits, vehicle or property transactions). Our team sends a short personalized checklist for return-filing clients.
What is the FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL)?
The ATL is FBR's published list of compliant filers. Being 'active' on it cuts withholding tax rates across banking, mobile, vehicle and property transactions – one of the most practical reasons to file every year.
I received a tax notice. What should I do?
Don't ignore it and don't reply hastily – most notices carry 15- to 30-day deadlines and your first response shapes the case. Contact our appeals team immediately with a copy of the notice.
Do you work with clients outside major cities?
Yes. All our services work fully remote – documents are collected online and filings, registrations and drafting are handled digitally for clients anywhere in Pakistan, including overseas Pakistanis.
Can you register my company with SECP?
Yes – private limited companies, single member companies, partnerships and AOPs, plus NTN and sales tax registration. See our company registration service for the full process.
Do you draft contracts in Urdu?
Our standard drafts are in clear English, which is what courts and banks expect. Urdu versions can be arranged on request.
