Current rates from 1 July 2026, checked against enacted legislation. Included prices preserve the full invoice total when further tax applies. Service classification, special rates and withholding require the applicable legal conditions; general provincial rates are not universal.

Formula

Exclusive price: GST = value × rate; further tax = value × 4% where applicable. Included price: base = total ÷ (1 + GST rate + further-tax rate). Payment = invoice total − documented tax withholding.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE

When to use this calculator

Pakistan sales tax depends on the nature and jurisdiction of the supply as well as the status of the parties. This calculator separates the invoice tax, any applicable further tax and documented withholding, helping explain why an invoice total and the supplier's receipt may differ.

Information to prepare

Choose the relevant goods or services treatment and confirm the provincial or federal rate. Check the conditions for further tax and withholding instead of assuming they apply together. Establish whether your entered amount includes both taxes before using an inclusive-price calculation.

How to interpret the result

The tax base is the value to which the selected transaction treatment applies. An inclusive total already contains tax and requires a reverse calculation to recover its net value. These amounts are not interchangeable. Tax charged on an invoice, tax withheld by a customer and eligible input-tax credit describe different obligations. Subtracting two amounts in a cash breakdown does not establish that they have the same legal treatment. Check what each output represents before using it in an invoice or budget.

A practical comparison

When reconciling a payment, distinguish tax assessed on the invoice from tax retained by the customer. Withholding changes the payment allocation; it is not automatically a discount on the supply. Income tax on annual earnings belongs in the separate income-tax tool and uses a different base.

Check your calculation step by step

  1. Match the figures to the selected period and use PKR for monetary inputs. If you start with a document in another currency or covering several periods, resolve that difference before entering a combined amount.
  2. Calculate the documented case first. Then change one input at a time to compare scenarios. Keep the original values available so a change in the result can be traced to a particular assumption rather than several simultaneous edits.
  3. Read the component breakdown alongside the formula and examples below. If an official document differs, check the date, base, rounding and omitted concepts before changing a rate or treating the difference as an error.

Open the relevant jurisdiction when comparing a move, an offer or a transaction abroad. Each tool uses its own currency, period and scope; its result should not be substituted into the current calculation.
