Understanding Filer, Non-Filer & Late Filer (Important)
Filer
A filer is a person who:
- Files income tax returns every year regularly
- Gets the lowest tax rates
Non-Filer
A non-filer:
- Does not file income tax returns
- Pays very high tax rates
- Faces heavy deductions at transfer
Late Filer (New Government Concept)
- If a non-filer purchases property and then files a return, he does NOT become a filer immediately
- He is considered a Late Filer
- A late filer must file tax returns consistently for 2 years
- Only after that period will he get full filer status
This rule applies in July 2025 – June 2026 transfers.
Why Understanding Tax Before Transfer Is Important
- Helps buyers calculate true cost
- Helps sellers know net amount after tax
- Avoids surprises at transfer office
- Encourages becoming a regular filer
