Complete Pakistan tax compliance, planning, and filing services. We handle FBR income tax returns, sales tax, withholding tax, NTN registration, SECP compliance, and provincial tax authorities — for individuals, SMEs, and corporations.
Full-Spectrum Pakistan Tax Compliance and Advisory
Ensure timely and accurate filing with the FBR and provincial authorities to keep your Pakistani business compliant and penalty-free.
Pakistan tax landscape is complex and constantly evolving, with obligations spread across the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for income tax and sales tax, and four provincial revenue authorities (PRA for Punjab, SRB for Sindh, KPRA for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and BRA for Balochistan) for sales tax on services. PrimePath Pakistan tax consultants are registered with FBR, thoroughly familiar with every provision of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 and the Sales Tax Act 1990, and equipped to manage your entire tax compliance calendar throughout the year, not just at filing time.
Whether you are a salaried individual filing a personal income tax return to remain on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL), a freelancer registering for a tax exemption certificate under IT exports, an SME managing monthly withholding tax statements, or a corporation preparing audited accounts for your annual corporate tax return, PrimePath delivers precise, penalty-free tax services. We handle every interaction with FBR IRIS, the Single Sales Tax portal, and all provincial tax portals on your behalf.
Beyond compliance, our Pakistan tax advisory team provides strategic tax planning to legally minimise your tax burden through optimal business structuring, allowable deductions, tax credits (such as those for investments in plant and machinery, new employees, and IT exports), and dividend planning. We also provide complete representation in FBR tax audits, representing your business before FBR officers, preparing audit responses, and negotiating settlements where necessary.

Pakistan Tax Consultancy FAQs
Find answers about FBR notices, STRN registration, and the nuances of provincial sales tax on services.
Every individual whose income exceeds PKR 600,000 per year (salaried) or who owns property, a vehicle, or a business account is required to file an annual income tax return with FBR. Filing is also required to stay on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL), which significantly reduces withholding tax rates on bank transactions, property dealings, and other payments.
The ATL is a list published by FBR of all taxpayers who have filed their annual income tax returns for the previous tax year. Being on the ATL means you pay lower withholding tax rates on bank transactions (0.15% vs 0.3%), property purchases, and vehicle registrations. ATL status is also required for certain business transactions and government tenders.
The standard corporate income tax rate is 29% for companies. Banking companies are taxed at 39%. Small companies (turnover below PKR 250 million and meeting certain criteria) pay 20%. There are also minimum tax provisions under Section 113 that apply even if a company shows a loss.
Withholding Tax is a mechanism where the payer deducts tax at source before making a payment to a supplier, contractor, or employee. Common withholding tax rates include 4% to 8% on payments to suppliers, 7% on services (resident), 10% on dividends, and 25% on payments to non-residents. The deducted amount must be deposited with FBR and reported in monthly WHT statements.
FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) administers sales tax on goods under the Sales Tax Act 1990 at a standard rate of 18%. Provincial Revenue Authorities (PRA, SRB, KPRA, BRA) administer sales tax on services at rates ranging from 13% to 16% depending on the province and service type. Businesses supplying both goods and services may need to register with both FBR and the relevant provincial authority.
Pakistan freelancers earning income from foreign clients are currently exempt from income tax on IT and IT-enabled services export income under the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 (until June 2026). However, they must register with FBR, obtain an NTN, and maintain ATL status. Freelancers earning domestically do pay income tax on income above the threshold. PrimePath handles freelancer NTN registration, ATL maintenance, and exemption compliance.
Not filing or late filing attracts penalties under Section 182 of the Income Tax Ordinance: PKR 1,000 per day for a minimum of PKR 50,000, depending on income level and delay. Additionally, you will be removed from or not added to the ATL, resulting in higher withholding tax rates on all your financial transactions. PrimePath can file late returns and assist with penalty reduction applications.
