Raza & Associates provides tax compliance and advisory support for businesses, founders and foreign investors operating in Pakistan. The service sits alongside our Tax Law practice: where Tax Law is concerned with legal interpretation, notices, disputes and appeals, Tax Services & Compliance is about keeping a business current with its routine obligations and structured sensibly from the outset.

• Businesses: companies and partnerships that need a dependable compliance calendar and a single point of contact for periodic filings and correspondence.
• Founders: start-ups and owner-managed businesses setting up in Pakistan that want registrations, records and first-year filings handled correctly from day one.
• Foreign investors: overseas groups establishing or acquiring a Pakistan presence that need local compliance coordinated with their home advisers and reported clearly.

Established in 2005, Raza & Associates is a trusted authority in navigating the intricacies of the Pakistani tax system. Our experienced tax professionals excel in unraveling complex business challenges across various sectors, offering objective analyses of proposed solutions.

Headquartered in Lahore, our tax planning and compliance services are seamlessly coordinated and delivered across Pakistan. With offices in key cities like Peshawar, Islamabad, Quetta and Karachi, we are well-positioned to serve both domestic and international clients.

Registrations

We review the entity, its activity and its ownership, identify the tax registrations the business requires and coordinate the applications and supporting documents with the relevant authorities. Where a business is already registered, we confirm that the registration details, particulars and status are current.

Periodic filings

Businesses in Pakistan carry recurring filing and payment obligations through the year. We maintain a compliance calendar for each client, prepare or review the periodic returns and statements that fall due, and coordinate the information needed from the client’s finance team or accountants so that filings are made in time and on a consistent basis.

Records and documentation

Good records make every later step easier, from a routine query to a formal audit. We advise on the records, reconciliations and supporting documents a business should keep, how long they should be retained and how they should be organised so that they can be produced when a tax authority asks for them.

Notices and audit support

When a notice, information request or audit arises, we review it promptly, explain what is being asked and by when, prepare the response with the client and its accountants, and represent the business in correspondence and meetings with the authority. Matters that develop into a dispute or appeal are handled with our Tax Law team.

Advisory on structuring

Before a business is formed, restructured, financed or acquired, we assess the tax compliance consequences of the proposed structure and identify practical alternatives. Advice is given on the facts of each matter and coordinated with the client’s accounting and corporate advisers; we do not offer generic schemes.

1. Scoping review: we collect the entity documents, existing registrations, recent returns and correspondence, and confirm the obligations that apply and the immediate deadlines.
2. Compliance plan: we agree a calendar, the information flow with the client’s finance team and the reporting the client wants to receive.
3. Ongoing delivery: we prepare and file on schedule, deal with correspondence as it arises and keep the client informed of changes that affect the business.

Credibility and compliance: Raza & Associates places a premium on building credibility with tax authorities. Our proactive approach keeps us abreast of the ever-evolving tax landscape, allowing us to adapt swiftly to changes and additions in tax laws.

Client empowerment: stay informed and empowered with our commitment to keeping clients abreast of critical changes in Pakistani tax laws. Our regular communication includes tax warnings, reminders, a tax calendar and more, ensuring you never miss important deadlines.
