Expert FBR Sales Tax Management for IT Firms
Maintaining rigorous compliance with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is a cornerstone for the growth of any software house or IT service provider. At Javid Law Associates, we leverage our experience since 2004 to navigate the complex landscape of the Sales Tax Act 1990. For IT companies, the distinction between local services and zero-rated exports is a critical regulatory hurdle that requires expert oversight to avoid unnecessary tax liabilities and legal notices.
Regulatory Framework and Authorities
IT businesses in Pakistan operate under a dual-taxation framework involving the FBR for federal matters and provincial authorities such as the Pakistan Revenue Authority (PRA) or SRB for service-based sales tax. Our team ensures that your ST Registration Pakistan status is utilized effectively to claim input tax adjustments on hardware, utilities, and software licenses, thereby optimizing your cash flow.
| Compliance Milestone | Deadline (Monthly) |
|---|---|
| Annexure-C (Sales Invoices) | 10th of every month |
| Sales Tax Payment (PSID) | 15th of every month |
| Final Return Submission | 18th of every month |
