What's the difference between FBR sales tax and provincial sales tax?

Quick answer

Federal sales tax on goods is administered by the FBR, while sales tax on services is administered by each province through its own authority — PRA in Punjab, SRB in Sindh, KPRA in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and BRA in Balochistan. If you sell goods you deal with the FBR; if you sell services you register with the relevant province; and if you do both, or operate in multiple provinces, you may need more than one registration.
