Quetta is the capital of Balochistan and a trading crossroads for Afghanistan and Iran, with an economy built on wholesale trade, transport, dry fruit, coal and government employment. Its businesses deal with FBR for income tax and with the Balochistan Revenue Authority for services.

FBR and the Balochistan Revenue Authority

Income tax is federal; sales tax on services in Balochistan is collected by the Balochistan Revenue Authority under the province's own law. Contractors, hotels, restaurants and consultancies in Quetta may therefore have BRA obligations alongside their FBR return.

Wholesale and Transit Trade

Quetta's wholesale markets, including those around Liaquat Bazaar, deal in goods arriving from Karachi and across the borders. Traders should keep purchase invoices showing import-stage taxes and records of sales to retailers across the province. Goods without proper documentation create customs risks as well as tax questions.

Dry Fruit and Agriculture

Orchards in Quetta valley and the surrounding districts grow apples, apricots, grapes and almonds. Orchard income is agricultural and taxed by the province; dry fruit traders who buy, process and sell earn business income.

Coal and Minerals

Coal mining and transport in the districts around Quetta involve leases, royalties to the province and payments to contractors with tax deducted. Each payment needs documentation.

Government Employees

Provincial and federal employees make up a large share of Quetta's formal workforce; their salaries are taxed at source.
