Tax Compliance

Tax Compliance – Definition According to FBR Pakistan

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Pakistan states “tax compliance as the timely and comprehensive fulfillment of all constitutional responsibilities imposed upon taxpayers by the Sales Tax Act of 1990”, the Income Tax Ordinance of 2001, and any other relevant laws and public notices.

Accurate registration, filing, payment, reporting, documentation, and responding to FBR according to requirements are all essential parts of tax compliance.

A taxpayer is considered “compliant” when they:

  • Obtain the correct tax registration (NTN, STRN, business profile)
  • File Income Tax Returns, Wealth Statements, and Sales Tax Returns on time
  • Maintain proper accounting records and financial documentation
  • Deduct and deposit withholding taxes when and where required
  • Pay taxes accurately, within the given deadlines
  • Respond properly & efficiently to FBR notices, audits, and queries
  • Stay updated with changes in tax laws and SROs
  • Ensure that business practices follow FBR guidelines

According to the FBR, compliance serves as essential for long-term tax regularity, financial credibility, national collection of revenues, and transparency.

Penalties, sanctions, audits, legal actions, suspension of business registrations, and in dire circumstances, asset attachment, might result from “Non-compliance”.
