- 2
Review the displayed formula and test a second scenario before making a decision.
- 3
Confirm important results with the responsible authority, institution or qualified adviser.
Formula and methodology
Difference = amount × (non-filer rate − filer rate).
Compares user-entered withholding rates for one transaction. It does not assume one universal filer or non-filer percentage.
Worked calculation example
PKR 2 million at 2% and 6% produces a PKR 80,000 difference.
How to interpret your result
Use the difference to estimate additional withholding on one transaction; withholding does not always equal final tax liability.
Input guide
Enter the correct transaction amount.
Use current filer and non-filer rates for that transaction type.
Confirm ATL status for the relevant date.
Scenario comparison
| Scenario | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| PKR 2,000,000 at 2% versus 6% | PKR 80,000 difference. |
| Property versus banking transaction | rates must not be reused blindly. |
| ATL status change | model the transaction at the status that legally applies. |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming one rate covers every transaction.
- Confusing withholding with final tax.
- Using an old ATL screenshot or rate table.
Verify status through FBR ATL and check the current legal provision or professional guidance.
