Sales tax return filing in Lahore
Monthly returns prepared from your books, reviewed with you and filed on time, for federal sales tax and provincial sales tax on services.
What is sales tax return filing?
Sales tax is collected from customers on taxable supplies and paid to the government, less the tax you have paid on your own purchases. Registered businesses in Pakistan file periodic returns, usually monthly, showing sales, purchases and the tax payable or refundable.
Which authority you file with depends on what you supply. Sales tax on goods is administered by FBR. Sales tax on services is administered by the provinces: PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and BRA in Balochistan. Many Lahore businesses deal with more than one, and we handle all of them.
