Every project deserves solid foundations.

Real estate developers and construction companies face complex revenue recognition, FBR's deemed-income regime, and capital-gains obligations that demand disciplined accounting from ground-break to handover.

Overview

Real Estate & Construction

Pakistan's real estate and construction sector has faced significant regulatory change — FBR's deemed-income tax, Section 7E on immoveable property, and the Capital Value Tax regime — alongside pre-existing complexity around percentage-of-completion revenue recognition and project cost accounting.

UMCO advises real estate developers, construction contractors, and property-holding companies across the full lifecycle — from structuring a development entity and FBR registration to annual returns prepared for project-margin accounting and the Section 7E and CVT regimes.
