Monthly Sales Tax Return Filing & Compliance Services
Precise monthly sales tax returns, Annexure reconciliations, input tax claiming, and audit protection for FBR and Provincial Revenue Authorities.
Overview
Sales tax compliance is an ongoing, monthly obligation. Registered businesses must submit monthly sales tax returns detailing their sales (output tax) and business purchases (input tax). Missing deadlines or submitting inaccurate returns leads to immediate blocking of sales tax profiles, automatic inclusion on non-active tax lists, and severe financial penalties. The Lawyers manages your complete monthly sales tax cycle with total accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the monthly due dates for filing Sales Tax Returns in Pakistan?
Under FBR rules, the sales tax cycle follows strict statutory deadlines every month: • Tax Payment (PSID / CPR Deposit): Due by the 15th of the month following the tax period. • Return Submission: Final electronic return submission on IRIS is due by the 18th of the month. • Note: Provincial authorities (PRA, SRB, KPRA) follow similar schedules, typically falling between the 15th and 18th of each month.
What happens if I miss the sales tax filing deadline?
Missing the deadline results in an automatic penalty (minimum PKR 10,000 to PKR 25,000 for late filing under the Sales Tax Act, 1990). Furthermore, your profile will be flagged, preventing you from issuing valid tax invoices or appearing on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL).
Do I still need to file if my company had zero sales or purchases this month?
Yes. Filing a "Nil" Sales Tax Return is legally mandatory even if there were no business operations or transactions during the month. Failure to file a Nil return triggers automatic late fees and suspension notices.
What is the maximum limit for Input Tax Credit claims?
Under Section 8B of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, a registered person is generally not allowed to adjust input tax in excess of 90% of the output tax payable for that tax period. The remaining balance can be carried forward to subsequent tax periods.
