Peshawar has been a trading city for centuries, and it is still where much of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's wholesale, transport and logistics business is done. Construction contractors and property developers are a growing part of that picture. We help clients set up businesses, draft trade and supply contracts, agree construction terms and complete property transactions as the city spreads outward.
On tax, Peshawar businesses answer to two authorities: the FBR for federal obligations and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority for sales tax on services. We register clients, file under each regime and reply to notices. Disputes that cannot be settled at that stage go to the Peshawar High Court or the provincial tax and civil forums, where we represent clients.

Local context
The legal and commercial picture in Peshawar
02
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority
The KPRA collects sales tax on services in the province. Contractors, hotels and restaurants, telecom-linked services and professional firms all need to look at their provincial registration and filings.
03
Trade and cross-border commerce
Sitting on regional trade routes, many Peshawar businesses deal in imports, transit goods and cross-border supply. Paperwork, customs compliance and payment arrangements need particular care.
04
Construction, property and the merged districts
Construction and real estate activity is heavy in and around the city. Since the former tribal areas merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, provincial laws and courts reach further, so land documents from those districts deserve close review.

Practical notes for clients in Peshawar
- 1Contractors should settle their KPRA registration and the tax treatment of a contract before bidding. Provincial and federal tax can both apply to the same job.
- 2Traders in imported or cross-border goods should keep full customs and purchase records. Those papers support both the tax position and title to the goods.
- 3For land in the former tribal areas, check how ownership is recorded and whether today's revenue and court system will accept the documents you hold.
- 4A construction agreement should cover specifications, payment stages, delay and how variations get approved. Most completion disputes trace back to one of these.
