Tariq Road is one of Karachi's busiest shopping streets, lined with clothing, footwear, bridal and accessories stores, many of them family-run for decades. Our Tariq Road clients are retailers, boutique owners, landlords of shops and the families behind them.
Retailers and Point-of-Sale Rules
Larger retailers on Tariq Road may fall under FBR's point-of-sale integration requirements, under which each sale is reported to FBR as it happens. For these stores the income tax return must match POS data closely. Smaller stores not covered by POS still need reliable sales records, especially as card and QR payments grow.
Boutiques and Bridal Wear
Boutiques that design and stitch garments both sell goods and provide tailoring. Fabric purchases, embroidery work given to outside artisans and payments to staff are the main costs. Orders paid in advance should be recorded when received, with the balance on delivery.
Shop Landlords
Shops on Tariq Road command high rents and pugri (key money) payments. Rent is taxable each year. A pugri received on letting a shop can also have tax consequences depending on how the arrangement is structured, so it should be documented and reviewed.
Family Businesses Across Generations
Stores often pass between family members. Each owner registers under their own NTN, and a change of ownership should be recorded with the bank and FBR.
