Spinzer Law Firm

Every Industry Has
Its Own Tax Language.

FBR regulations apply differently across sectors. We bring industry-specific knowledge — so your advisor already understands the compliance landscape you operate in before the first meeting.

01High complexity

Manufacturing

Manufacturing faces tax at every supply chain layer — inputs, production, distribution, and export. FBR audits in this sector are among the most scrutinised in Pakistan, with input credit mismatches being the top trigger.

What we handle

  • Input/output tax reconciliation across production tiers
  • WHT on payments to vendors, contractors, and sub-contractors
  • SRO-based sales tax exemption claims on raw materials
  • +1 more
02Property tax

Construction & Real Estate

Property taxes in Pakistan overlap federal and provincial jurisdictions. The Section 7E deemed income provision has become a major compliance burden — most property holders are unaware of the exposure until they receive a notice.

What we handle

  • Capital Value Tax on every property transfer transaction
  • Capital Gains Tax on real estate sales within the holding period
  • FBR Section 7E deemed income compliance on immovable property
  • +1 more
03Export benefits

Information Technology

IT exports carry significant FBR incentives — but only if properly structured. Most freelancers and software firms leave money on the table by not claiming available exemptions under PSEB registration and foreign remittance rules.

What we handle

  • Foreign remittance income tax treatment and SRB exemption claims
  • PSEB-registered entity tax benefit structuring
  • Freelancer NTN registration, return filing, and FBR compliance
  • +1 more
04Regulated sector

Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals

Healthcare straddles zero-rated, exempt, and fully taxable supplies — often within the same entity. A single misclassification triggers retroactive liability across the entire supply chain. Getting this right from the start is essential.

What we handle

  • Zero-rated drug import and sales tax classification advisory
  • Hospital income tax return and WHT on corporate client payments
  • Pharmaceutical importer duty and sales tax reconciliation
  • +1 more
05WHT heavy

Trading & Distribution

Trading businesses pay withholding at import, at each distribution tier, and on final sale — creating multiple reconciliation points where mismatches accumulate silently until an audit exposes the full liability.

What we handle

  • Advance income tax on commercial imports — Section 148 compliance
  • WHT deduction and compliance at every distribution tier
  • Monthly distributor WHT statement preparation and filing
  • +1 more
06Digital compliance

Retail & E-commerce

FBR now mandates POS integration for Tier-1 retailers with significant penalties for non-compliance. E-commerce businesses face new withholding obligations on marketplace transactions that most are not yet structured for.

What we handle

  • FBR POS integration mandate compliance for Tier-1 retailers
  • E-commerce marketplace WHT deduction and return reconciliation
  • Foreign platform income (Amazon, Fiverr, Upwork) tax structuring
  • +1 more
07Tax-advantaged

Agriculture & Food Processing

Agricultural income is provincially taxed in Pakistan — but the moment you process or export, federal rules apply. The boundary between exempt agricultural income and taxable processing income is exactly where most FBR exposure sits.

What we handle

  • Agricultural income segregation — provincial vs. federal tax obligations
  • Food processing entity sales tax registration and input credit claims
  • Export-oriented agri income tax exemption advisory
  • +1 more
08Cross-border

Import & Export

Import and export businesses face complex customs duties, valuation disputes, and strict documentation requirements. FBR WeBOC compliance and cross-border trade tax structuring require specialized knowledge to avoid delays and unnecessary costs.

What we handle

  • Customs duty and valuation disputes
  • Import/export licensing compliance
  • Sales tax on imports and rebate claims
  • +2 more
