Salam members, we have bought a flat in dha ll extension, i asked the advocate that it will named on my father and mother’s name. He prepared documents accordingly. I paid the local govt taxes during registration process. But as the taxation issue was undecided yet, so we didn’ pay the fed govt. Advance taxes. Few weeks back, advocate called to pay the fbr taxes on the new rate. When enquired about, he said that your father and mother are 50:50 partners in it. Your father is filer so he has to pay 2% advance tax on his half share and my mother is nonfiler, so she has to pay 4% on her half share. Due to this, now we have to pay some more extra tax. I need to ask that where i made the mistake. I thought that my father is the sole earner of the home and we all are dependent on him. Whatever the income and wealth is, he is the stakeholder. So my mother is dependent on him, how can she pay tax. She is not earning anything and she has nothing on her name. If my father is buying something and he is naming someone with him, then whole tax should be paid by my father, isn’t it right?
