  6. A house in Bahria town Lahore of 5 Maria's is on rent. What will be the property tax and how will it be assessed as the inspector is demanding under the table to show as owner occupied. The owner wants to pay tax on rental basis but is ignorant of the prevailing value of his house to calculate the real legal tax to be paid into the government kitty instead of saving some small amount and bribing the excise staff. Please guide anyone.
