Sales tax registration
Application for goods, manufacturing, import and services.
About Sales Tax Registration
Sales tax applies to the supply and import of goods and to many services. Depending on your business and your province, registration is with FBR or with the provincial revenue authority, such as those of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Services in Islamabad have their own rules as well.
Once you are registered you must issue proper tax invoices, file a return every month and keep records. Input tax adjustment is where many businesses lose money because the paperwork is missing. We set up your process so that you claim what you are entitled to and avoid default surcharge.

Common Questions
Short answers about sales tax registration.
Do I need sales tax registration?
It depends on what you sell or supply, your turnover and your province. Traders, manufacturers, importers, exporters and many service providers need to register. We check your case and tell you what applies.
Is sales tax the same as GST?
In everyday use in Pakistan, GST (general sales tax) and sales tax mean the same thing for goods. Services may be taxed under federal or provincial law depending on where you operate.
What if I miss a monthly return?
Late returns and late payment can attract default surcharge and penalties. We can help you file the missed returns and set up reminders so that it does not happen again.
Can I register as an online seller?
Yes, if you meet the legal conditions. We explain the requirements for your kind of business before you apply.
