Sales tax registration with FBR.

Sales tax registration is required once your business supplies taxable goods or services above FBR’s threshold, or if you want to claim input tax credits. Once registered, returns are typically filed monthly.

How it works

Output tax, input tax, and monthly filing

Once registered, you charge sales tax on your taxable supplies (output tax) and can claim back sales tax you paid on qualifying business purchases (input tax). The difference is what you remit to, or reclaim from, FBR each month.

Missing a monthly filing, even with no activity, can create compliance issues — we handle sales tax registration and ongoing monthly returns together so nothing slips.

Common questions

Answered

When does a business need to register for sales tax?

Generally once a business supplies taxable goods or services above the threshold FBR sets, or if it wants to claim input tax credits on its own purchases.

How often is sales tax filed once registered?

Sales tax returns are typically filed monthly with FBR, reporting both output tax collected and input tax paid.

Is sales tax the same as income tax?

No — sales tax is charged on the supply of goods/services and collected from customers, while income tax is charged on the business's actual profit. They're filed separately.
