Company registration with the SECP, NTN and sales tax registration, partnerships and sole proprietorships, valuations, feasibility studies for bank finance, and voluntary winding up.

Income tax (FBR)

Income tax is charged under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and filed on FBR’s IRIS portal. The normal tax year runs from 1 July to 30 June. Individuals file a return and wealth statement; companies file an annual return and monthly or quarterly withholding statements. Filing on time keeps you on the Active Taxpayers List, which lowers withholding tax on many transactions.

Sales tax on goods and services

Sales tax on goods is federal, under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, and filed monthly with FBR. Sales tax on services is provincial: the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) and Balochistan Revenue Authority (BRA) each have their own law, rates and monthly return.

Common questions

What is the last date to file an income tax return in Pakistan?

For salaried individuals and most non-corporate taxpayers it is normally 30 September after the tax year ends on 30 June, unless FBR extends it. Companies have later dates depending on their year-end.

Can you set up a company for a non-resident?

In most of the countries we serve, yes. The rules on local partners, visas and bank accounts differ by country; we explain them for your case before you pay any government fee.
