What it costs
Know what you're paying for before you start.
The FILERWISE fee depends on your case and is confirmed in writing before any work begins. Government fees, where they apply, are set by the authority and charged separately — we never mark them up.
Included in the fee
- Income and deduction review
- Wealth statement preparation
- Draft for your approval
- Filing and acknowledgement
- ATL status check
- FILERWISE service fee
- From Rs. 3,900 (salaried individual)
- Government fee
- No FBR fee to file — surcharge applies only if you file late
- Other cases
- Rs. 3,900 salaried · from Rs. 7,500 sole proprietor · from Rs. 10,000 partnership or company
This is an indicative FILERWISE professional fee. The final fee is confirmed in writing for your case before any work starts. Government, SECP, IPO and provincial fees are separate and charged at cost. For business cases the fee depends on turnover and the nature of the business.
Is this the right service for you?
This is likely right for you if
- You are salaried, freelancing or running a business
- You want to be on the Active Taxpayer List
- You have income that was taxed at source and want it reflected
Another service may suit you better if
- You have not registered yet — start with NTN registration
- You have received a notice about a past year — that is handled separately
Common mistakes we see
- Filing income but skipping the wealth statement
- Leaving out bank profit or property income
- Assuming withheld tax means nothing needs to be filed
The experience, in a client’s words.
“I wanted someone to explain what was needed before asking me to pay or send documents.”
