What drives the economy of Punjab?

The province produces a large share of the country's textiles, agriculture, sports goods, surgical instruments, light engineering and dairy, and is home to thousands of small and medium enterprises that supply both export and domestic markets.

Which tax and compliance rules apply in Punjab?

Businesses in Punjab file income tax and sales tax on goods with the Federal Board of Revenue, register companies with SECP, and deal with the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) for sales tax on services.

  • 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.
  • Many Punjab businesses are family owned and growing into their second generation, which raises governance, succession and internal control questions.

Accounting and tax questions from Punjab

Do I need to register with PRA if I provide services in Punjab?

If you provide taxable services in Punjab and exceed any applicable thresholds, registration with the Punjab Revenue Authority is required, separate from your FBR registration.

Where is the WDS office in Lahore?

Our office is at Suite 27, 3rd Floor, Sadiq Plaza, Mall Road, Lahore. Meetings are by appointment so a partner is available when you arrive.

My business is in Rawalpindi but clients are in Islamabad. Which services tax applies?

It depends on where the service is rendered. Services rendered in Punjab fall under PRA, while services rendered in the Islamabad Capital Territory fall under FBR. We review your contracts and apportion correctly.
