FilerPK is a dedicated tax consultancy serving individuals and businesses across Karachi. Whether you need NTN registration, income tax return filing, sales tax compliance, SRB services tax, or help responding to an FBR notice, we handle it digitally, accurately, and on time. Every filing goes through the FBR IRIS portal. Every document is shared with you on submission. Services start at PKR 3,500.
Karachi generates more than half of Pakistan’s total tax revenue. That concentration means the FBR’s Large Taxpayer Unit here is one of the most active enforcement offices in the country — and Karachi businesses face a disproportionate share of audit notices, WHT demands, and STRN compliance actions.
Karachi's LTU is among the most active enforcement offices in Pakistan. Businesses in Karachi receive a disproportionate share of audit notices, withholding tax demands, and STRN compliance actions. A missed response window here has consequences that smaller RTOs rarely escalate to.
The Sindh Revenue Board operates independently from the FBR and governs services tax in Karachi. Many Karachi businesses owe obligations to both simultaneously — and most consultants only handle one of them. FilerPK handles both FBR and SRB compliance in the same engagement.
A textile trader in Saddar faces different compliance requirements than a software exporter in Clifton or a retailer in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. Karachi's economy runs on trading, manufacturing, import-export, IT services, and retail — each with its own tax treatment. Generic advice gets all of them wrong.
Karachi property owners deal with Sindh's immovable property tax. Vehicle owners pay token tax through the Sindh Excise and Taxation Department. These are Karachi-specific obligations that sit entirely outside the standard FBR filing most consultants focus on.
Karachi importers at Port Qasim and Karachi Port deal with withholding tax on imports, advance tax, and customs-linked FBR obligations that require annual reconciliation as part of the income tax return. These are not handled by standard retail or salaried-individual tax packages.
Karachi's growing IT economy — particularly in DHA, Clifton, and Korangi — benefits from a distinct FBR treatment of export income under the IT export regime. Most Karachi consultants apply standard rates to foreign remittances, causing freelancers to overpay every year.
Karachi businesses often answer to two separate tax authorities at the same time. Here is what falls under each — FilerPK handles both.
Every service is handled digitally through the FBR IRIS portal. You share your documents — we manage the filing, submission, and follow-up from start to finish.
Every taxpayer in Karachi needs an NTN before interacting with FBR. We register individuals, salaried employees, freelancers, sole traders, and businesses on FBR IRIS. Your NTN certificate is ready within 1 to 2 working days. NTN is the first step to the Active Taxpayers List — which directly reduces your withholding tax on every bank transaction, property deal, and vehicle registration in Karachi.
Read MoreThe FBR deadline for income tax returns is 30 September each year. Missing it costs you a penalty and removes your name from the ATL. We file for salaried individuals, business owners, AOPs, freelancers, and overseas Pakistanis with Karachi-based income. Every return is prepared on IRIS with full deductions applied, and the acknowledgement is shared with you immediately.
Read MoreKarachi businesses registered under FBR's sales tax regime must file monthly returns. Missing a return attracts automatic penalties. We handle STRN registration and ongoing monthly filings for retailers, manufacturers, importers, and wholesalers. We also handle Sindh Revenue Board services tax registration and returns for service-sector businesses under SRB jurisdiction.
Read MoreWe register Private Limited Companies, Single Member Companies, and AOPs with the SECP and complete their FBR registration simultaneously. The package covers NTN, STRN, and digital signature setup. It is particularly used by Karachi startups moving from sole trader to corporate structure for banking or investor purposes — a step that banks actively require.
Read MoreKarachi has a growing IT and freelance economy — particularly in DHA, Clifton, and Korangi's tech cluster. PSEB registration qualifies your business for reduced income tax rates, export incentives, and FBR exemptions available specifically to Pakistan's IT sector. We manage the full PSEB application, documentation, and follow-up on your behalf.
Read MoreFBR's Karachi LTU and Regional Tax Office issue audit notices, demand letters, and Section 122 amendment orders regularly. Your response window is 15 to 30 days. We read the notice, assess the risk, prepare a written response with supporting documentation, and submit within the required deadline. We have handled notices across every major Karachi district — zero missed deadlines in eight years.
Read MoreKarachi’s economy is not uniform. The tax situation of a salaried employee in Nazimabad is completely different from an importer at Port Qasim or a freelance developer in DHA. We serve all of them — but we do not treat them the same way.
Operating in Saddar, Jodia Bazar, Bolton Market, and SITE with high-volume transactions, withholding tax on purchases, and frequent FBR scrutiny. We handle their monthly compliance, WHT reconciliation, and annual returns with sector-specific knowledge of Karachi's trading economy.
Karachi employees in banking, corporate, and telecom sectors often believe their employer handles everything. It does not. You still need to file your own return, declare other income, and maintain ATL status. We handle this for hundreds of Karachi employees annually — including WHT credit reconciliation.
Karachi freelancers and IT professionals on Upwork, Fiverr, or direct contracts face a specific challenge — foreign remittances and IT export income have distinct FBR treatment. Getting it wrong means overpayment. Getting it right with PSEB registration can reduce your effective tax rate to 0.25% on foreign income.
Karachi importers and exporters at Port Qasim and Karachi Port deal with withholding tax on imports, advance tax, and customs-linked FBR obligations. We handle the annual reconciliation, import WHT credits, and return filing for this segment, with knowledge of Karachi Port's specific documentation requirements.
Overseas Pakistanis with Karachi-based property, rental income, or business interests must still file Pakistani tax returns. We manage this entirely online — no visit to Karachi required. Documents via WhatsApp, filings through IRIS and SECP e-Services, certificates delivered electronically.
Karachi property developers, construction companies, and investors face both FBR advance tax on property transactions and Sindh's immovable property tax simultaneously. We handle the full compliance picture — wealth statements, property tax, advance tax crediting, and annual return — as one coordinated engagement.
Not a service description — a documented outcome from a specific Karachi case handled by FilerPK.
A textile retailer operating in Saddar came to us in March 2024 with three years of unfiled returns and an active FBR audit notice. The FBR had estimated their taxable income at PKR 4.2 million and raised a demand of PKR 630,000 without access to their actual financial records.
The business had purchase records, bank statements, and rental invoices — but no filed returns to anchor them to. FBR's best-judgment assessment had applied estimated income far above the actual figures.
We reviewed three years of purchase records, bank statements, and rental invoices. After filing all three returns with properly documented accounts, the actual tax liability came to PKR 118,000. We filed a formal written objection to FBR's estimated assessment, supported by full financial evidence.
Within 45 days, the FBR revised the demand. The business paid PKR 118,000 instead of PKR 630,000. They have filed on time every year since and have a clean FBR record today.
Korangi, DHA, Clifton — specific people with specific situations, not generic reviews.
I run a small import business in Korangi and had three years of unfiled returns. The FBR notice came out of nowhere. They handled the whole thing — objection, filing, everything — in under six weeks. My penalty was dropped entirely.
Karachi has hundreds of tax consultants. Most handle basic filing. Few understand FBR litigation, SRB obligations, and sector-specific tax structuring simultaneously.
Most Karachi tax consultants file returns and stop there. When an FBR notice arrives — an audit letter, Section 122 amendment, or demand notice — they refer you elsewhere. FilerPK handles the full cycle: reading the notice, assessing the risk, preparing a written objection with supporting documentation, and submitting within your response deadline. Resolved across Saddar, Korangi, SITE, and DHA — zero missed deadlines in eight years.
Your ATL status directly affects how much withholding tax you pay on every bank transaction, property deal, and vehicle registration in Karachi. Non-filers pay double. FilerPK keeps your name on the Active Taxpayers List continuously — not just at filing time. That saving alone frequently exceeds our annual fee.
FBR deadlines are fixed. Missing them costs you penalties, surcharge, and ATL removal. Before FilerPK takes on any filing, we commit to a completion date. In eight years of serving Karachi taxpayers, we have not missed a single filing deadline. That is a track record, not a marketing claim.
Karachi banks — including multinational banks and local commercial lenders — require FBR-compliant wealth statements for account opening, loan applications, and large fund transfers. We prepare documentation that satisfies banking requirements and holds up under scrutiny, whether you are applying at a local branch or a multinational institution.
Foreign remittances and IT export income are treated differently under FBR rules than regular business income. Most Karachi consultants apply standard rates to both — meaning their freelance clients overpay every year. We file correctly from the start, apply the IT export regime where eligible, and complete PSEB registration for clients who qualify for additional exemptions.
Every filing at FilerPK is processed digitally through the FBR IRIS portal. You receive the submission confirmation, FBR acknowledgment receipt, and a copy of every document filed on your behalf. Nothing is submitted without your knowledge. You always have a complete, timestamped record of your compliance.
A textile trader in Saddar, a software exporter in Clifton, and a retailer in Gulshan-e-Iqbal each face different tax obligations. Generic advice gets all three wrong. FilerPK works within specific Karachi industries — trading, manufacturing, IT services, import-export, and retail — and applies the rules that actually apply to your business.
We serve clients in person from our Karachi office and fully online for clients anywhere in the city. You do not need to be near our office — document sharing via WhatsApp or email is enough for most filings.
In-person appointments are available at our Karachi office. For all other locations, documents via WhatsApp or email. Filings submitted through FBR IRIS and the SRB portal. Acknowledgements and certificates delivered electronically the same day.
From PKR 3,500. FBR + SRB both handled. NTN in 1–2 days. 8 years, zero missed deadlines.
