Provincial Tax Services by LAWBIZ Group
Sales tax on services works differently in Pakistan than most business owners expect. It isn’t collected by FBR at all it’s collected by the province where the service was rendered. Four provinces, four separate authorities, four separate registration numbers, four separate filing calendars. If your business operates across more than one province, you could be dealing with all four at once, and that’s exactly where things get complicated for people managing it on their own.
This is the gap Provincial Tax Services by LAWBIZ Group was built to close. We register and file with whichever provincial authority applies to your business, so you’re not the one figuring out which deadline belongs to which province.
Why Provincial Tax Works the Way It Does
Back in 2011, the 18th Amendment moved sales tax on services out of federal hands and into provincial ones. Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan each set up their own revenue authority afterward, and each wrote its own rules on rates, registration thresholds, and filing timelines. A service that’s taxed one way in Lahore might be taxed differently in Karachi, simply because a different law governs it there.
That’s the part that trips people up. A consultant with clients in two provinces, or an agency billing from an office in one city while serving another, often doesn’t realize they need to register separately in each place until a notice shows up. Provincial Tax Services by LAWBIZ Group exists so that question gets answered before it becomes a problem, not after.
Punjab Revenue Authority
If your business provides taxable services within Punjab, you’re dealing with the Punjab Revenue Authority, commonly known as PRA. Registration, monthly return filing, and staying compliant with PRA’s specific service categories all fall under its jurisdiction and Punjab’s list of taxable services is broader than a lot of business owners assume, covering everything from consultancy to logistics to event management. We handle PRA registration and monthly filing directly, so nothing slips past a deadline you didn’t know existed.
Sindh Revenue Board
Sindh runs one of the most active provincial tax authorities in the country, and the Sindh Revenue Board enforces its rules with a level of scrutiny that catches a lot of newly registered businesses off guard. SRB registration is mandatory for anyone providing taxable services in Sindh, and its monthly filing requirements don’t leave much room for a missed month. We manage SRB registration and returns for clients operating in Karachi and across Sindh, keeping filings consistent every month rather than reactive.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority
Businesses providing services in KP fall under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority, and KPRA’s compliance requirements have tightened noticeably over the past few years. Registration and monthly filing with KPRA follow the same core structure as the other provinces, but the specific rates and service categories are set independently, which is why applying Punjab or Sindh assumptions here often leads to mistakes. Our team registers and files with KPRA directly on your behalf.
Balochistan Revenue Authority
Service providers operating in Balochistan register and file with the Balochistan Revenue Authority. BRA is smaller in scale than the other three authorities, but that doesn’t make its compliance requirements any less binding businesses still need a valid registration and a filing history that matches what BRA expects. We manage BRA registration and returns the same way we handle the other three, so businesses working in Balochistan aren’t left without support simply because the authority is less talked about.
One Firm, Four Provinces
Most accountants or consultants specialize in one province and refer clients elsewhere for the rest. That works fine until your business grows into a second or third province, and suddenly you’re managing multiple relationships just to stay compliant. Provincial Tax Services by LAWBIZ Group was built around the opposite idea one firm, one point of contact, all four provincial authorities handled under the same roof.
Whether you need registration with a single authority or ongoing filing across all four, our team tracks every deadline so you don’t have to hold four different calendars in your head.
