Income Tax Return in Pakistan
An income tax return generally reports your income, applicable deductions, and tax position for a tax year. Below is a plain-language overview of common concepts and the mistakes that often show up in this section.
Common income categories
The analyzer mirrors how FBR IRIS actually breaks down income: Employment (pay, wages, or other remuneration), Property, Business, Capital Assets, Other Sources, and Foreign Sources/Agriculture. Tax figures follow IRIS's own Tax Chargeable/Payments structure — Admitted Income Tax, Withholding Income Tax, Advance Income Tax, and Demanded Income Tax.
Common filing errors
Frequent data-quality issues include income entered without a corresponding tax figure, expenses that look unusually high relative to income, missing tax-year information, and a Demanded Income Tax figure that doesn't reconcile with Admitted Tax minus Withholding and Advance Tax.
What Razi Tax Mate checks
Beyond the basics, the analyzer reproduces IRIS's own tax computation identity — Demanded Income Tax should equal Admitted Income Tax minus Withholding Income Tax minus Advance Income Tax — and flags it when the numbers don't add up. It also cross-checks negative or implausible figures, effective withholding rate against a general sanity range, business income reported with zero expenses, salary income paired with unexpected expenses, and — if you provide a prior-year figure — a year-over-year income swing check. Each finding is tagged with a priority (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and a confidence level, and flagged for your review rather than decided for you.
