This tool is a quick add/remove tax calculator, not a full sales tax return. A few things it deliberately leaves out:
18%, charged under the federal Sales Tax Act 1990 and administered by FBR. A small list of specified "luxury" goods, mostly imported, is taxed at 25% instead, and some raw materials and inputs qualify for reduced rates under the Eighth Schedule.
16% is the standard rate under the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA), which applies to most services by default. Several specific categories, including accountancy, audit, and tax consultancy services, carry a reduced 8% rate, while others such as IT-enabled services and ride-hailing sit at 5%.
Sales tax on goods is a federal tax charged by FBR under the Sales Tax Act 1990. Sales tax on services is a provincial matter: in Punjab it's the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA), while Sindh, KP, and Balochistan each run their own broadly similar authority and rate table.
Use the formula Tax = Inclusive Amount × (rate ÷ (100 + rate)). Select "Remove tax from this amount" in the calculator, enter your tax-inclusive total, and it applies this automatically to show the base amount and the tax portion separately.
Generally yes, at the normal applicable rate. On top of that, a further tax of an extra 4% can apply under Section 3(1A) when supplying taxable goods to an unregistered person, which this simple calculator doesn't add automatically, so check with us if that applies to your transaction.
Accountancy, audit, and tax consultancy services fall under the Punjab Revenue Authority's reduced 8% rate, not the 16% standard services rate. This is a good example of why the specific category matters, not just goods versus services.
Yes. Sindh (SRB), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPRA), and Balochistan (BRA) each administer their own sales tax on services, generally close to but not identical to Punjab's rates. This calculator's provincial presets reflect Punjab; ask us for the exact rate if you operate in another province.
