Register for sales tax and keep your monthly returns clean
We register you for sales tax with the FBR, obtain your STRN, and file the monthly sales tax return with the annexures so your input tax is claimed and your buyers can claim theirs.
Fee quoted before work starts. Registration in three to five working days. Monthly returns filed before the 18th.
Manufacturers, importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers above the threshold, and anyone whose buyer demands a sales tax invoice.
Late or wrong monthly returns block your input tax adjustment, put your name on the FBR's inactive list, and cost your buyers their claim, which is how suppliers lose contracts.
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 maintenance certificate in the business name
- Electricity bill and meter reference number of the business premises
- Rent agreement or ownership proof, with the property tax number
- Photographs of the business premises, inside and outside
- GPS-tagged photograph of the utility meter, for manufacturers
The process
We check whether you must register
Registration depends on your turnover, your sector, and whether your buyers require a sales tax invoice. We tell you plainly if you do not need it.
Registration and biometric verification
We complete the application on IRIS, then you complete biometric verification at an e-Sahulat franchise within thirty days.
Monthly filing thereafter
Send us your sales and purchase invoices each month. We reconcile them, file the return by the 18th, and send you the challan.
Registration in three to five working days. Monthly returns filed before the 18th.
Questions about sales tax registration and filing
- Who is required to register for sales tax in Pakistan?
- Manufacturers above the turnover threshold, importers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers meeting the conditions in the Sales Tax Act must register. Service providers register with their provincial authority instead of the FBR.
- What is the monthly sales tax return deadline?
- The sales tax return is due by the 18th of the following month, with the payment challan due by the 15th. Missing it triggers a penalty and blocks your input tax adjustment.
- What is the difference between FBR sales tax and provincial sales tax?
- The FBR collects sales tax on goods. Sales tax on services is provincial, so it goes to BRA in Balochistan, PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, or KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa depending on where the service is rendered.
- Can my sales tax registration be suspended?
- Yes. The FBR suspends registrations for non-filing, for failing biometric verification, or where a supplier in your chain is blacklisted. We handle restoration applications.
