Federal GST on goods vs provincial sales tax on services — standard rates, sector schedules, and add/strip calculator.

Goods vs services

Federal GST (standard 18%) generally applies to goods. Services are taxed by provincial authorities: PRA (Punjab), SRB (Sindh), KPRA (KP), BRA (Balochistan), and FBR for ICT. Standard services rates in our model are about 16% (Punjab) and 15% (Sindh / KP / Balochistan / ICT).

Sector schedules

IT/ITeS, telecom, healthcare, construction, financial services, and ride-hailing often use reduced or enhanced rates. Our sales tax calculator exposes common planning buckets — always confirm the current notification for your exact service.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reverse a tax-inclusive invoice?

Yes — use “Strip tax from total” to back out the ex-tax base.

Is GB the same as provinces?

Gilgit-Baltistan is often treated as nil SST in simplified models — confirm locally.

Does this replace registration advice?

No. Registration thresholds and place-of-supply rules need a practitioner.

Is this official?

No. Planning estimates only.
