Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about company setup, tax returns, litigation appeals, and trademark protection in Pakistan.

With complete documents and name approval, an SECP Private Limited or Single Member Company (SMC-Pvt Ltd) is typically incorporated in 5 to 7 working days. Our team handles name reservation, memorandum & articles drafting, digital submission, and CRO follow-up.
For individuals and salaried professionals: a valid CNIC, active mobile number registered on your CNIC, email address, and paid utility bill of premises. For businesses: rent deed/ownership proof and bank account maintenance certificate. Once filed, your name appears on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL).
Do not ignore an FBR notice. Statutory deadlines (usually 7 to 15 days) apply. Contact our tax litigation team immediately with the notice copy. We formulate a fact-based, case-law-backed written reply and represent you before the Inland Revenue Officer to avoid arbitrary assessment or default surcharge.
FBR administers federal sales tax on goods under the Sales Tax Act 1990. Provincial bodies (PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in KPK, BRA in Balochistan) govern sales tax on services under respective provincial statutes. Businesses offering services in a province must register with that province's revenue board.
You should apply for Trademark Registration with IPO Pakistan under the relevant goods/services class (TM-1). This grants exclusive legal rights across Pakistan for 10 years (renewable). We perform pre-filing clearance searches, file applications, handle examination queries, and secure your registration certificate.
Yes. If FBR initiates unlawful recovery under Section 140 or issues an ex-parte demand, we file urgent stay applications before the Commissioner (Appeals), Appellate Tribunal (ATIR), or High Court under Article 199 to obtain immediate restraining orders and unfreeze accounts.
