Why You Need an FBR Rent Receipt
FBR requires tenants paying more than PKR 25,000/month to deduct advance tax (7.5%) from landlord's rent and deposit it with FBR. An FBR receipt proves compliance and protects you from penalties.
Method 1: ilaan Pay (Easiest)
ilaan Pay automatically generates FBR-compliant receipts for every rent payment. Steps: Go to ilaan.com/ilaanpay → Enter landlord bank details → Pay rent with debit/credit card → FBR receipt generated instantly and emailed to you.
Method 2: Manual FBR Filing
For landlords who insist on cash or direct bank transfer, you must manually file advance tax deduction at FBR.
- Login to iris.fbr.gov.pk
- Go to Payment → Tax Payment
- Select "Advance Tax on Rent" (Section 155)
- Enter landlord details and rent amount
- Generate PSID and pay at bank
- Upload payment slip to iris.fbr.gov.pk as proof
Advance Tax Rates on Rent (Section 155)
Annual rent above PKR 300,000: Filer landlord: 5% of rent. Non-filer landlord: 10% of rent. This is deducted by the tenant, not paid by the landlord.
What If Landlord Refuses FBR Receipt?
You are still legally responsible for deducting tax from rent if rent exceeds threshold. Pay rent via ilaan Pay which handles compliance automatically, or deduct manually and file at FBR.
