Tax & compliance · Pakistan
From your first registration to every monthly return, we keep you compliant with FBR and the provincial revenue authorities — and step in when a notice arrives.
We work out which authority you need, prepare your documents and complete registration — including biometric and profile steps.
Your returns prepared from your actual sales and purchase records, reconciled and filed on a fixed monthly schedule.
Federal & provincial
Goods are taxed federally. Services are taxed by the province where they are provided — so many businesses register with more than one authority.

Questions
If you supply goods, sales tax is generally federal (FBR). If you provide services, it is generally provincial — PRA, SRB, KPRA or BRA, depending on where the service is provided. Many businesses that sell both, or operate in more than one province, need several registrations.
Typically your CNIC, NTN, business bank account details, proof of business premises (rent agreement or ownership documents with a utility bill) and, for companies, SECP incorporation documents. FBR registration also includes biometric verification. We send you a checklist specific to your case.
Yes. Once registered, a return is due for every tax period — a nil return if there was no activity. Missing returns leads to penalties and can affect your active taxpayer status.
Sales tax returns are filed monthly for the previous month. Federal and provincial authorities each set their own payment and filing dates, so we keep a single calendar for all your registrations and schedule each filing against its deadline.
Don't ignore it — notices have reply deadlines. Send us a copy and we will review it, prepare the reconciliation and draft a response, or represent you if a hearing is scheduled.
