Hello!
I’m not sure about which forum to post this in, but hopefully someone here will know how to answer!
I’m planning my wedding which will be taking place in Lahore, Pakistan.
But maybe half of the venues mention tax when I ask about costs - withheld tax and government sales tax - but no one’s actually answering my question about what the tax rates are!
Does anyone know what the tax rate is and what things they apply to?
Thanks!

GST is 17% and WHT is 10%.
Re: Tax in Pakistan?
Services provided by hotels / motels, guest houses, marriage halls and lawns (by whatever name they are called) including pandal, shamiyana services, clubs and caterers are subject to Punjab Sales Tax @ 16%.
Further, Advance Tax is collected @ 10% from the bill of arranging / holding a function in a marriage hall, marquee, hotel, restaurant, community place etc

Re: Tax in Pakistan?
Well the inside story is "We" as the Event Management and Marriage Halls association of Punjab (LHR) have applied for stay order against this latest tax. so right now anyone demanding tax is just filling his own pocket. If they charge tax ask them to make give tax paid certificate in case so while filling annual tax returns you can cut that amount off.
