Federal and Punjab Tax Matters Are Not the Same
Some tax matters are administered federally through FBR.
Others may involve Punjab authorities such as the Punjab Revenue Authority.
The correct response depends on:
- The authority issuing the notice
- The tax involved
- The relevant period
- The order or proceeding
- The applicable limitation period
- Previous filings
- Available supporting documents

Common questions
Tax Law FAQs
What should I do if I receive an FBR notice?
Read the notice promptly, identify the tax period, issue, deadline and documents requested, and preserve the relevant return and supporting record. A response should be prepared only after confirming the correct statutory route.
Can a tax assessment be challenged?
An assessment may be challenged through the remedy provided by the applicable tax law. The order, service date, limitation period and available record should be reviewed before an appeal or other response is filed.
Does PRA deal with all taxes in Lahore?
No. The Punjab Revenue Authority deals with matters within its provincial mandate, while federal taxes remain with the relevant federal authority. The transaction and tax type determine which authority is involved.
Can a tax dispute reach the High Court?
A tax dispute may reach the High Court where an appropriate legal remedy and jurisdiction exist. Statutory appeals, the nature of the order and any alternative remedy must be considered first.
Can LawBridge advise companies as well as individuals?
Yes. We advise both businesses and individuals on notices, assessments, audits, appeals and related tax disputes. The correct approach depends on the taxpayer, authority, tax period and record involved.
