Sales Tax Registration & Return Filing in Pakistan

ADL Law Associates handles sales tax registration (STRN) and monthly sales tax return filing for businesses across Pakistan — with the FBR for goods and with the provincial authorities (PRA, SRB, KPRA, BRA) for services. We register you, file your monthly returns on time, reconcile input and output tax, and keep you compliant.

Who needs to register for sales tax?

What we handle

FBR or provincial — which applies to you?

Sales tax on goods is federal and administered by the FBR, while sales tax on services is provincial. If you supply services you will usually register with your province — PRA (Punjab), SRB (Sindh), KPRA (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) or BRA (Balochistan). Many businesses need both, and we handle the combination.

How the process works

  1. Free consultation — we confirm where and how you must register.
  2. Registration — we obtain your STRN and set up your records.
  3. Monthly filing — we prepare and file your returns and reconciliations.
  4. Compliance — we keep you current and handle any notices.

Why timely filing matters

Missing a monthly return can bring penalties and default surcharge, and can cost you input tax you were entitled to claim. Consistent, on-time filing protects both your cash flow and your compliance record. Read our sales tax registration guide for background.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs to register for sales tax in Pakistan?

Businesses making taxable supplies above the registration threshold, manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers, and service providers covered by provincial sales tax laws generally need to register.

What is an STRN?

STRN is your Sales Tax Registration Number, issued when you register for sales tax with the FBR or the relevant provincial revenue authority.

How often must sales tax returns be filed?

Sales tax returns are filed monthly, by the due date each month. Even a nil month usually requires a return, so consistent, on-time filing matters.

What is the difference between FBR and provincial sales tax?

Sales tax on goods is administered federally by the FBR, while sales tax on services is administered by the provinces — PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and BRA in Balochistan.

What happens if I file late or miss a return?

Late or missed returns can trigger penalties and default surcharge, and can lead to input tax being disallowed. Staying current protects your input tax claims and your compliance record.

Can you handle both registration and monthly filing?

Yes. We register your business, set up your records, and file your monthly returns and reconciliations end to end so you stay compliant without the monthly stress.
