Legal & tax services, in detail

Taxation, corporate compliance and litigation handled by the same firm — so your filings and your legal position never contradict each other.

Taxation & corporate compliance

Compliance work

Registration, filing and defence across FBR, the Sindh Revenue Board and SECP.

FBR income tax filing & ATL management

Annual return filing that is prepared the way it would have to be defended — every figure traceable to a slip, statement or certificate.

Individual & salaried

Full annual return filing, reconciliation of tax deducted from pay slips, vehicle token tax adjustments and wealth statement declarations to secure Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status.

Freelancers & remote workers

Withholding tax statements

Preparation and electronic filing of monthly and quarterly withholding tax statements under Section 165 of the Income Tax Ordinance.

Business & corporate tax filing

From a single-owner shop to a private limited company with audited accounts — filed on time, reconciled, and consistent with what you have declared elsewhere.

Sole proprietors & partnerships (AOP)

Profit and loss accounting, turnover tax calculations, withholding tax adjustments and partner capital share reconciliations.

SECP companies (SMC-Pvt Ltd & Pvt Ltd)

Comprehensive corporate income tax return filing, statutory audited balance sheet submissions, minimum turnover tax optimisation and director remuneration disclosures.

Annual statutory compliance

Coordinated calendar of income tax, sales tax and SECP filings so that nothing lapses and no late fee is triggered.

SRB — Sindh Revenue Board advisory & filing

Sindh sales tax on services is where most service businesses in Karachi get caught. We register you correctly and keep the monthly cycle clean.

SRB portal registration

Obtaining service sales tax registration for consultants, technology agencies, contractors, restaurants and service enterprises.

Monthly sales tax returns

Accurate calculation of taxable services, input tax adjustments and output tax liability, filed monthly on the SRB e-portal.

Withholding compliance

Handling the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Withholding Rules for corporate clients and for service providers deducting at source.

SECP incorporation & company secretarial

Company formation done properly the first time — with the constitutional documents drafted for your actual business, not a copied template.

Company formation

Name reservation, drafting of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, digital signature issuance and Certificate of Incorporation for Private Limited, Single Member (SMC) and Public Limited entities.

Statutory compliance

Annual filing of Form A, Form 29 and Form C on the SECP eServices portal.

Corporate restructuring

Share transfers, addition and removal of directors, alteration of the registered office address, and increases in authorised or paid-up capital.

Tax audit defence, notices & appellate representation

A notice is a legal proceeding, not a form. It is answered with evidence, statutory grounds and — where necessary — an appeal.

Notice response drafting

Comprehensive legal replies to FBR and SRB show-cause notices, Section 111 unexplained income and asset probes, and Section 122 amendment notices.

Appellate advocacy

Filing and arguing formal appeals before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals), the Sindh Revenue Board appellate forum and the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR).

Litigation & legal advocacy

Court work

Family law & matrimonial disputes

Sensitive matters handled with discretion, and with a clear view of what the court will and will not grant.

Child custody & guardianship

Litigating visitation schedules, permanent physical custody and legal guardianship petitions before the Guardian Courts.

Maintenance & dower recovery

Succession & inheritance (Wirasat)

Obtaining formal succession certificates and letters of administration from the courts and NADRA for lawful distribution of assets, bank accounts and property among legal heirs.

NADRA legal matters & CNIC restoration

An identity card blocked without explanation stops your banking, travel and property life. It is an administrative decision — and it can be challenged.

Blocked CNIC resolution

Handling cases flagged under complex verification, national status inquiries or departmental administrative holds.

Genealogical & record rectification

Correcting family tree (Shajra-e-Nasab) discrepancies, parentage adjustments, name modifications and date-of-birth corrections.
