Sales Tax Registration in Lahore is a critical first step for any business, as the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) monitors all transactions. Without registration, you cannot participate in tenders, nor can you work with well-reputed companies or government organizations in Pakistan.
Before filing a Sales Tax Return, registration with the FBR is mandatory. Once registered, you’ll receive a Sales Tax Registration Number (STRN) along with a User ID and Password, granting you access to the FBR’s e-file portal for submitting your Sales Tax Return.
The FBR may require post-verification for manufacturers through field offices or authorized third parties. If the provided documents are found to be non-genuine, the applicant will be asked to provide correct details within fifteen days. Failure to comply may result in removal from the Active Taxpayer List.
Biometric Verification: After receiving the registration number, visit the NADRA E-Sahulat Centre within 30 days for biometric verification.
You can also apply for sales tax registration through the Iris Mobile Application, Tax ASAAN Mobile Application. Detailed procedures and guidelines are available on the Tax Asaan Mobile Application.
If there are changes required in the FBR Profile or other details, notify the amendment or modification in the prescribed form to the RTO within fourteen days.
If a registered person shifts business activity to another jurisdiction, a valid reason must be provided through a written application to the Commissioner Inland Revenue of the RTO where the case resides.
To deregister, submit an application to the Commissioner Inland Revenue. Deregistration can be requested if the business ceases operations, supplies become exempt from sales tax, or turnover falls below the minimum threshold.
Every person registered under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, or the Federal Excise Act, 2005, must file a monthly sales tax return, declaring transaction details and sales tax liability. If the input tax exceeds the output tax, a refund claim is generated. If the output tax exceeds the input tax, the taxpayer must deposit the sales tax along with the return.
Registered persons must file returns through the FBR’s electronic filing portal.
A registered person can file an amended or revised sales tax return within 120 days of the original filing, subject to approval by the Commissioner Inland Revenue.
Our professionals strive to make tax returns easy and timely, reducing the risk of audits from the tax department.
The Active Taxpayer List (ST) is a central record of active sales tax filers.
