Pakistan Distribution Tax

FBR further tax, 236G and 236H advance income tax,
and Third Schedule retail price sales tax. Applied automatically.

Describe the buyer once and the goods once. Every quotation and invoice line then carries the right levy at the right rate, with no fiscal position to maintain.

The problem

The distribution tax problem every Pakistani supplier knows

Every invoice is a manual tax decision

Is this buyer registered? Are they on the Active Taxpayer List? Are they a distributor or a retailer? Someone answers all of that in their head, per line, per invoice, and then picks the taxes by hand.

The wrong base on Third Schedule goods

Third Schedule items must be taxed on the printed retail price, not the trade price you actually charge. Standard invoicing taxes what is on the line, so the sales tax comes out short and the shortfall is yours to pay.

A rate change breaks last year

A new Finance Act arrives and someone edits the percentage on the live tax. Every report and every reprint of an old invoice now shows a rate that was never charged, and the audit trail is gone.

What this module does

Pakistan Distribution Tax extends the Pakistan localization with the FBR levies a distributor, dealer or wholesaler has to charge but that standard invoicing does not calculate. You record the buyer profile once on the contact and the goods profile once on the product. From then on every quotation and invoice line resolves its own taxes.

An unregistered buyer picks up the further tax under Section 3(1A). A distributor, dealer or wholesaler picks up 236G advance income tax and a retailer picks up 236H, at the filer or non-filer rate, with fertilizer withheld on its own 236G branch. A Third Schedule product is taxed on its printed retail price under Section 3(2)(a) while the line still invoices at your trade price. Rates live in an effective-dated rate card that your accountants own, so a Finance Act change adds a new dated row instead of rewriting history.

๐Ÿงพ
Taxes resolve themselves

The buyer profile and the product profile decide the levies. Nothing is selected by hand, and changing the customer or the document date recomputes the line.

๐Ÿท๏ธ
Third Schedule on the MRP

Flag the product and enter the printed retail price. Sales tax and further tax are then computed on the MRP while the line still invoices at your trade price and discount.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ
Rates you can version

A new rate is a new dated row, never an edit. Documents keep the rate they were actually charged, so your reports and your audit trail stay correct forever.

Step 1 of 10 Describe the buyer once

NTN or CNIC, sales tax status, filer status and distribution tier sit in the customer information block on the contact form.

Step 2 of 10 Flag your Third Schedule goods

Tick Third Schedule Good and enter the printed retail price. A Third Schedule product without a positive MRP is refused, so the tax base can never silently fall back to the trade value.

Step 3 of 10 Set the advance tax category

Fertilizer, other goods, or exempt. This is the branch that decides which 236G rate a distributor is withheld at, and it is set on the product, not on the customer.

Step 4 of 10 Own the FBR rate card

Every levy, category, filer status, rate and start date in one list, with the tax it drives beside it. Seeded on install and yours to maintain from there.

Step 5 of 10 Version a rate instead of editing it

To change a rate you add a new row with a later effective date. The module builds the new tax and uses it from that date. The old row and its tax stay exactly as they were.

Step 6 of 10 Quote with every levy already on the line

An unregistered non-filer distributor buying Third Schedule goods. Sales tax and further tax compute on the printed retail price, 236G computes on the trade value, and the totals break the levies out separately.

Step 7 of 10 The rate follows the buyer

The same goods and the same tier sold to a registered filer. No further tax, and 236G drops from the non-filer rate to the filer rate. Nothing on the quotation was changed by hand.

Step 8 of 10 Retailers withhold under 236H

A buyer whose distribution tier is Retailer moves to Section 236H automatically, and the invoice shows the withholding separately from output sales tax.

Step 9 of 10 Fertilizer, at the rate in force on the invoice date

Fertilizer takes its own 236G branch, and the invoice picks the rate card row that was in force on its own document date, not the newest row in the table.

Step 10 of 10 Each levy posts to its own account

Further tax and the 236 advance taxes are real Odoo taxes with their own tax group and their own liability account, so they are reported and reconciled separately from output sales tax.

Everything included

๐Ÿงพ Further tax on unregistered supplies

Section 3(1A) further tax applies automatically to any buyer marked as unregistered, on its own tax group and liability account.

๐Ÿ“ฆ 236G for the trade channel

Distributors, dealers and wholesalers are withheld under 236G, with a separate fertilizer branch and separate filer and non-filer rates.

๐Ÿช 236H for retailers

A buyer whose tier is Retailer switches to Section 236H, at the filer or non-filer rate, without any other change to the document.

๐Ÿท๏ธ Third Schedule retail price base

Sales tax and further tax compute on the printed retail price under Sec 3(2)(a), while the line still invoices at your trade price and discount.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Effective-dated rate card

A rate change is a new dated row. The module creates the new tax and applies it from that date, and earlier documents keep the rate they were charged.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ No duplicate rates possible

One rate per levy, category, filer status and start date is enforced in the database, so the same slot can never be defined twice.

โš–๏ธ Compliance-safe default

A buyer with no confirmed Active Taxpayer List status is treated as a non-filer, so an unverified buyer is withheld at the higher rate rather than under-withheld.

๐Ÿ‘ค Buyer profile in the header

Sales tax status, filer status and distribution tier are visible in the customer information block on the contact, the sales order and the invoice.

๐Ÿ”„ Recomputes when it should

Change the customer, their status or the document date and the lines pick up the correct levies again, on quotations and on draft invoices alike.

๐Ÿข Multi-company aware

The rate card and its taxes are created per company, and only companies on the Pakistan chart of accounts are touched.

How it works

1
Install on a Pakistan company

The module seeds the FBR rate card, creates the taxes it drives, and adds two liability accounts for further tax payable and advance tax collected. Companies on other charts of accounts are left alone.

2
Profile your buyers

On each customer set the sales tax status, the filer status and the distribution tier, and record the NTN or CNIC. This is a one time entry per contact.

3
Profile your goods

Set the advance tax category on each product, and for Third Schedule items tick the flag and enter the printed retail price.

4
Sell as normal

Add products to a quotation or an invoice. Every line resolves its own further tax and advance tax from the buyer, the product and the document date, and the totals show each levy separately.

5
Update rates when the law changes

Open the FBR Rate Card, add a row for the levy with the new rate and the date it takes effect, and save. Everything from that date forward uses it, and nothing before it moves.

Frequently asked questions

How do I charge further tax to unregistered buyers in Odoo?

Set Sales Tax Status to Unregistered on the customer. From then on every quotation and invoice line for that customer carries the further tax under Section 3(1A) alongside the normal sales tax, with its own tax group and its own liability account, so it is reported separately from output sales tax.

How is 236G or 236H advance income tax calculated automatically?

Set the Distribution Tier on the customer. A distributor, dealer or wholesaler gets 236G and a retailer gets 236H. The rate is then picked from the buyer's filer status and, for 236G, from the product's advance tax category, so fertilizer is withheld at its own rate and other goods at the general rate.

What happens if I do not know whether a buyer is on the Active Taxpayer List?

The buyer defaults to Non-Filer, which is the higher rate. Withholding at the higher rate is the compliance-safe direction, so an unverified buyer is never under-withheld. Change the field to Filer once you have confirmed the buyer on the ATL.

How does Odoo tax Third Schedule goods on the printed retail price?

Tick Third Schedule Good on the product and enter the Printed Retail Price. Sales tax and the further tax are then computed on the MRP instead of the trade price, while the line still invoices at your trade price and any discount. A Third Schedule product without a positive MRP is refused.

What do I do when the government changes a tax rate?

Open the FBR Rate Card and add a new row for that levy with the new rate and the date it takes effect. The module builds a new tax for it and uses it from that date forward. The old row and its tax stay untouched, so every posted document keeps the rate it was actually charged.

Does this replace the Pakistan localization?

No, it extends it. The Pakistan localization chart of accounts and its sales taxes stay exactly as they are, and this module adds the distribution levies on top and posts them to their own accounts.
