Sales tax in Pakistan

Sales tax in Pakistan: what you need to know

The rules the product is set up around, in plain words. Your accountant confirms what applies to you. Sources: FBR, Sindh Revenue Board, EY: Pakistan provincial sales tax changes, Finance Acts 2024, EOBI.

  • Goods: federal sales tax. The standard rate under section 3 of the Sales Tax Act 1990 is 18%, administered by FBR. Zero-rated and exempt goods are listed in the Act's schedules.
  • Services: provincial sales tax. Services are taxed by the provinces, each with its own authority and rates (SRB in Sindh, PRA in Punjab, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, BRA in Balochistan). Sindh's standard rate is 15%. Add your province's rate in Settings.
  • Sales tax invoices. A registered person issues a sales tax invoice for every taxable supply, and input tax is adjusted against output tax in the monthly return.
  • Electronic invoicing. Every sales-tax registered person must issue electronic invoices integrated with FBR's system through a licensed integrator, carrying the FBR invoice number and QR code. The roll-out finished at the end of 2025.
  • Year. The tax year runs from July to June, and SimpleERP numbers documents on that year.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need to be registered for sales tax to use SimpleERP?

No. Setup asks whether you are registered. Manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and most retailers of goods register with FBR for sales tax; services are registered with your province's revenue authority (PRA, SRB, KPRA or BRA). If that changes, switch it in Settings; your NTN / STRN prints on every invoice once you add it.

What does a SimpleERP sales tax invoice show?

Your business name and address, your NTN / STRN, the customer, a number from a sequence that never repeats, the date, each line with its sales tax rate, the tax by rate and the amount in words. Your accountant can confirm what your business must show.

How much does SimpleERP cost in Pakistan?

Every module is free for 7 days with no card. After that Premium is PKR 14,000 per user per month (PKR 168,000 per user per year), the fixed equivalent of USD 50, counted on the people who sign in. See pricing.

Does SimpleERP file my sales tax returns?

No. It keeps the records and gives you a tax summary by rate and the sales and purchase registers, all exportable to CSV, for whoever files your returns.

Does SimpleERP integrate with FBR's electronic invoicing?

No. SimpleERP is not a licensed FBR integrator, so its invoices carry no FBR invoice number or QR code. A sales-tax registered business must issue its sales tax invoices through an integrated system; use SimpleERP for stock, purchases, books and payroll alongside it.

How do I handle sales tax on services?

Add a rate for your province's sales tax on services in Settings (for example Sindh at 15%) and pick it on service lines. SimpleERP posts it to the same sales tax account.

Where is my data stored?

In a PostgreSQL database on the hosted service, where row-level security keeps each business to its own rows. Ask us where the service is hosted and how it is backed up, and export your reports to CSV whenever you like.
