We reconcile your sales and purchases, protect your input tax, and file your sales tax return on time with FBR and the provincial revenue authorities, so there are no surprises at the end of the month or the end of the year.
Every month, a sales tax registered business in Pakistan has to issue valid tax invoices, declare every sale, claim only the input tax the law allows, pay on time and file a return that agrees with its suppliers' and buyers' returns.
Goods are taxed federally under the Sales Tax Act, 1990 and administered by FBR. Services are taxed separately: in Islamabad under the ICT (Tax on Services) Ordinance, 2001 through FBR, and in the provinces by PRA, SRB, KPRA and BRA. Many businesses deal with more than one of these at once.
Our sales tax compliance service covers all of it. One team keeps your books, prepares your sales tax returns and reconciles them with your income tax and withholding filings, so the figures agree wherever FBR looks.
Take the full package as a monthly retainer, or pick the parts you need alongside your in-house accountant.
Preparation and e-filing of your sales tax return on IRIS, including nil returns, with the acknowledgement sent to you.
Your sales (Annex-C) and purchase records matched against your books and FBR's data before anything is submitted.
Supplier mismatches, missing invoices, banking-channel issues and section 8B limits flagged early, so the input tax you claim holds up.
Support with electronic invoicing integration, invoice data checks and coordination with your software provider or licensed integrator.
Compliance for services in Islamabad and with PRA, SRB, KPRA or BRA, including businesses registered in more than one jurisdiction.
Correct treatment when you withhold sales tax as an agent, or when your customers withhold it from you, so credits are not lost.
Invoice formats, debit and credit notes and the records the law requires, set up so they stand up to an FBR audit.
If FBR or a provincial authority issues a notice, the team that prepared your returns prepares the reply, with an LLB-qualified advocate on hand.
These are the problems we see most often when a business comes to us for the first time. Each one is cheaper to prevent than to fix.
If a supplier does not declare the sale in its own return, your input tax can be refused under section 8(1)(ca).
We check supplier data before you claim.Paying suppliers outside the banking channel above the limit in section 73 can cost you the input tax on that purchase.
We review payment trails every month.Missing the 15th or the 18th brings default surcharge under section 34 and penalties under section 33.
We build buffers ahead of every deadline.Non-filing or unexplained mismatches can lead to suspension or blacklisting under section 21, which also blocks your buyers' input claims.
We keep you active and respond fast.Missed returns can drop you from the sales tax ATL, and customers increasingly check it before they buy from you.
We file every period, including nil returns.Registered persons are required to integrate with FBR digital invoicing. Non-integration carries penalties and action on the registration.
