Karachi produces a larger share of Pakistan's tax revenue than any other city, and its taxpayers range from port-based importers and industrial exporters to salaried bank staff and Saddar shopkeepers. This page explains how we work with Karachi clients and which federal and Sindh obligations usually apply.
Two Revenue Systems in One City
Every Karachi business answers to FBR for income tax and sales tax on goods, and to the Sindh Revenue Board for sales tax on services. A clearing agent in Keamari, a software house on Shahrah-e-Faisal and a restaurant in DHA can each owe tax to both bodies in the same month. Being up to date with one does not protect you from the other.
How Karachi's Size Shapes FBR Contact
Large companies, banks and listed groups are handled by FBR's Large Taxpayers Office, while individuals and smaller businesses fall under the Regional Tax Offices. Whichever office you belong to, notices arrive through IRIS and replies are filed there too, so a consultant outside Karachi can handle them without a visit.
| Karachi taxpayer | Typical work we do |
|---|---|
| Importer clearing through the port | Income tax return claiming import-stage tax, sales tax returns |
| Industrial unit in SITE, Korangi or Landhi | Withholding statements, sales tax, annual return |
| Salaried professional | Return, refund of excess deductions, wealth statement |
| Landlord in Clifton or Gulshan | Rental income, property records, section 7E check |
| Service business | SRB registration and monthly returns alongside FBR |
Working with Us from Karachi
Clients send documents on WhatsApp, approve a draft and receive the FBR acknowledgement. For Sindh registrations we prepare the SRB application and returns in the same way. Fees are listed on our pricing page.
Sindh Levies Outside the FBR Return
Karachi property owners also pay Sindh's urban immovable property tax to the Excise department, many businesses pay Sindh professional tax, and importers meet the Sindh infrastructure cess on goods moving through the port. None of these reduce federal income tax, but they belong in your records and, where they relate to a business, can be business expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Lahore consultant handle my Karachi tax matters?
Yes. Returns, notices and registrations are all handled online through IRIS and the SRB portal, so location does not matter.
Do Karachi service businesses need SRB registration?
If they provide services taxable under the Sindh sales tax on services law and cross the threshold, yes, in addition to FBR registration.
