Tax

Tax in Pakistan is split between federal (income tax, sales tax on goods, customs) and provincial (services sales tax, agriculture income tax). FBR runs Iris — the online filing portal — at iris.fbr.gov.pk. Provincial revenue authorities (PRA, SRB, KPRA, BRA) handle services tax.
Key statutes

- Sales Tax Act 1990
- Federal Excise Act 2005
When to hire a lawyer
For salaried filers, do it yourself on Iris. Hire a tax practitioner for audit notices, AOP/Pvt-Ltd accounts, refund disputes, and overseas-Pakistani returns where pre-existing foreign tax residency matters.
