Landhi in east Karachi combines a large industrial area, the Karachi Export Processing Zone and dense residential sectors. Our Landhi clients include export-zone businesses, small manufacturers, transporters and the salaried workers employed by them.
Businesses in the Export Processing Zone
Units in the Karachi Export Processing Zone operate under the zone's special customs and tax framework, which was designed around exports. Benefits are tied to zone registration and conditions, and they do not automatically extend to suppliers outside the zone. Zone businesses still keep proper records and file returns.
Manufacturers Outside the Zone
Landhi's industrial area hosts steel, plastics, food and garment units. They usually need sales tax registration, file monthly returns, deduct tax from suppliers and staff, and claim input tax only on invoices from active registered suppliers.
Transport and Logistics
Trucking companies moving goods from Landhi to the port and up-country pay advance tax with vehicle tax and have tax deducted on freight by corporate clients. A freight register makes the return straightforward.
Residents and Workers
Landhi's residential sectors are home to factory and port workers. Those with salary tax deducted can file to claim refunds and join the Active Taxpayers List, which lowers withholding on bank and vehicle transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do zone benefits apply to my business if I supply a Landhi EPZ unit?
Not automatically. Zone incentives depend on the unit's own registration and conditions; suppliers outside the zone follow the normal rules.
Can a manufacturer claim input tax on any purchase invoice?
Only on valid invoices from suppliers who are registered and active, and subject to the inadmissible list.
Can Landhi workers get refunds?
Yes, if tax deducted from salary exceeds the actual liability, by filing a return.
Do Landhi residents need to visit an FBR office to file?
No. Returns are filed on IRIS; send your CNIC and documents on WhatsApp and we file after you approve the draft.
