Course Curriculum

Understanding Sales Tax Basics
This foundational module introduces you to the core principles of sales tax. You'll learn what sales tax is, why it exists, how it works in practice, and how it differs from other indirect taxes such as VAT (Value Added Tax). We’ll clarify the scope of sales tax on goods and services, discuss typical supply chains, and help you understand who is responsible for collecting and remitting the tax. By the end of this module, you’ll have a solid grasp of the basic concepts, preparing you for more advanced topics like registration, input adjustments, and cross-border compliance.

Sales Tax Registration & Setup
This module guides you step by step through registering your business for sales tax, both in Pakistan and from a global perspective. We will cover the entire process of obtaining a Sales Tax Registration Number (STRN) in Pakistan, discuss required documentation, and explain the conditions under which businesses must register in other countries (e.g., VAT registration in the EU or GST in other regions). You’ll also learn about initial setup responsibilities — such as configuring your invoicing system, setting up accounting software to track sales tax, and preparing your first compliance filings. By the end of this module, you'll know exactly when and how to register, how to prepare, and how to avoid costly errors that often occur during initial setup.

Invoicing, Collection & Input Adjustments
This module focuses on one of the most operationally critical parts of sales tax compliance: invoicing, collecting tax, and managing input tax adjustments. From issuing a legally compliant tax invoice to handling cash or credit collections and correctly adjusting input tax credits, this module equips you with the practical know-how to stay compliant and optimize your cash flow. By the end of this module, you will be able to create valid invoices, collect tax responsibly, and confidently manage input adjustments to reduce net tax liability.

Filing Returns & Payment Procedures
This module focuses on the practical process of preparing, filing, and paying your sales tax returns. Accurate and timely filing is crucial for maintaining your sales tax compliance status, avoiding penalties, and ensuring proper cash flow. You’ll learn step-by-step procedures for preparing monthly or quarterly returns (depending on jurisdiction), generating payment challans, and reconciling your tax liabilities. By mastering this module, you'll avoid last-minute panic, reduce audit risks, and stay confidently on the "Active Taxpayer" list.

Sales Tax Audits & Legal Compliance Summary
Even if your filings are perfect on paper, you’re never truly safe until you survive an audit. Sales tax audits are designed to verify whether your reported figures match actual business activities and supporting documents. In this module, you'll learn how to prepare for an audit proactively, handle unexpected inspections, and ensure your business stays legally compliant. A well-prepared business can turn an audit from a nightmare into a routine check — or even a chance to improve internal controls.

E-Commerce & Cross-Border Sales Tax
The rise of e-commerce has shattered borders but created a minefield of tax compliance challenges. Online sellers must navigate complex, often overlapping tax rules in each jurisdiction they sell to — including sales tax, VAT, GST, and digital service taxes. This module will help you understand your obligations whether you sell on your own website, through global marketplaces, or via social media platforms. You’ll learn how to stay compliant, avoid penalties, and maintain customer trust.

Future Trends & Digital Transformation
The world of sales tax is evolving fast. Governments are shifting from periodic manual filings to real-time, digital, and fully integrated tax systems. E-invoicing, e-filing, and real-time data reporting are transforming how businesses handle compliance. In Pakistan, these trends are also accelerating — FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) and provincial authorities are pushing for greater digital adoption, aiming to close revenue leaks and increase transparency. This module prepares you for this shift: from understanding e-filing basics to anticipating advanced digital audit mechanisms and AI-powered compliance monitoring.
