Register and file provincial sales tax on services
We register your service business with the right provincial revenue authority, Balochistan Revenue Authority, Punjab Revenue Authority, Sindh Revenue Board or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority, and file the monthly returns.
Fee quoted before work starts. Registration in three to seven working days, depending on the authority.
Contractors, consultants, IT firms, marketing agencies, restaurants, hotels, transporters, security agencies, labour suppliers and any business billing for services.
Government departments and large companies withhold provincial sales tax from your invoice. Without registration you cannot invoice correctly and the withheld amount is simply lost to you.
Documents you need
Photographs from your phone are fine. Send what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
- NTN certificate and CNIC of the owner or directors
- Bank account certificate in the business name
- Rent agreement or ownership proof of the office
- Utility bill of the office premises
- Service contracts or sample invoices
- Company documents, where the applicant is a company or AOP
The process
We identify the correct authority
The province where the service is rendered decides the authority. Firms working in several provinces often need more than one registration, and we tell you which.
Registration with the authority
We file the application on the authority's portal, respond to their queries, and obtain your registration certificate.
Monthly returns and withholding statements
We file the monthly return, reconcile the tax withheld by your clients, and keep your status active.
Registration in three to seven working days, depending on the authority.
Questions about bra, pra, kpra and srb
- Which authority do I register with for sales tax on services?
- You register with the revenue authority of the province where the service is rendered: BRA for Balochistan, PRA for Punjab, SRB for Sindh, and KPRA for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Islamabad services fall under the FBR.
- Do I need to register in more than one province?
- If you render services in more than one province you generally need registration in each of them. A construction contractor working in Quetta and Karachi typically registers with both BRA and SRB.
- What is the BRA sales tax rate in Balochistan?
- The Balochistan Revenue Authority applies a standard rate on most services, with reduced rates for specified sectors. Because rates change with each provincial finance act, we confirm your sector's current rate before you invoice.
- My client withheld provincial sales tax from my invoice. What do I do?
- The withheld amount is deposited against your registration and adjusted in your monthly return, but only if you are registered. If you are not registered you cannot claim it back.
