About this service
Many businesses are "withholding agents": when they pay salaries, suppliers, contractors, service providers or rent, the law requires them to deduct tax, deposit it with FBR and report it in withholding statements — quarterly statements for most payments and an annual statement for salaries, as per current FBR rules.
Errors here are costly. If tax was not deducted or a statement does not match the tax deposited, FBR can recover the amount from the business and disallow the related expense.

Frequently asked questions
Is my business a withholding agent?
It depends on the form and size of the business and the type of payment. Companies always are for most payments; individuals and AOPs become withholding agents when they cross the limits set in current FBR rules.
What if tax was not deducted from a payment?
The law allows FBR to recover the tax from the payer, with default surcharge, and the expense may be disallowed. Tell us early: it is easier to correct before a notice arrives.
Do employees get anything from these statements?
Yes. The annual salary statement is what supports the salary certificates your employees use to file their own returns.
