Audit and accounting services in Lahore

Lahore is where WDS is headquartered, on Mall Road, so clients here work with partners who can be at their premises the same day. The city combines a large family business sector, a growing technology and services economy, and the head offices of many Punjab based manufacturers.

Most of our Lahore clients are private limited companies preparing their first or second audited accounts, groups restructuring after a generation change, and startups raising capital who need investor grade reporting from the start.

Family groups with mixed personal and business records

Many Lahore groups run several companies through shared bank accounts and family directors. We separate the entities properly, document related party balances, and build the records an audit, a bank or a future investor will accept.

What do Lahore businesses need from their accountants?

  • PRA and FBR in parallel

    Lahore service businesses file with both the Punjab Revenue Authority and FBR, and mismatches between the two are a frequent trigger for notices.

  • Growing companies needing audits

    Many Lahore companies are crossing the size thresholds where audit, governance and IFRS reporting become mandatory.

  • Real estate and construction

    Developers need IFRS 15 revenue recognition and careful tax treatment of property transactions.

Which industries do we serve in Lahore?

Our partners tailor audit procedures, tax reviews and reporting to the sectors that shape Lahore's economy.

  • Textiles and apparel
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Real estate and construction
  • IT and software services
  • Food and beverages
  • Retail chains

Tax and regulatory framework for Lahore

Lahore businesses register companies with SECP, file income tax and sales tax on goods with FBR, and account for sales tax on services with the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA). Read more about compliance across Punjab or our tax advisory and FBR compliance service.

  • Sales tax on services in Punjab is collected by the Punjab Revenue Authority under the Punjab Sales Tax on Services Act 2012, with monthly returns filed on PRA's e-portal.
  • Exporters in Punjab often deal with sales tax refunds, export facilitation schemes and foreign buyer audits, all of which depend on clean records.
