FAQ
What is Required for Provincial Sales Tax Registration?
To ensure a clean online registration with provincial authorities without processing delays, your business profile must have an active FBR NTN alongside specific localized proofs:
Active FBR NTN Profile: Your base National Tax Number must be active and synchronized with the correct service activity classifications.
Commercial Office Proof: A valid rental agreement or property deed showing an active office address inside the province.
Corporate Bank Certificate: A bank account maintenance letter matching your official business or company name.
Identity Documents: Valid CNICs or SECP company documents of the sole owner, partners, or directors.
Do I file my service tax with the FBR?
No. Unlike physical goods, taxes on services are collected by individual provincial revenue authorities (such as PRA or SRB) via separate digital portals.
What are the standard provincial tax rates on services?
Tax rates vary by region and service category. Generally, the baseline standard rate sits between 13% to 16% depending on the specific province.
Are IT freelancers exempt from provincial sales tax?
Most provinces offer zero-rated configurations or special lower concessionary tax rates for IT exports and software development services to promote digital growth.
