Why register your software house?
Pakistan’s IT exports are projected to cross $4 billion in 2026. Registered software houses enjoy 100% tax exemption on export earnings, foreign currency retention, and access to international tenders. But the registration process can be tricky – one missing document can delay you for weeks.
📌 Don't waste time on bureaucracy. We help you get it right the first time.
👉 Chat with us on WhatsApp for a personalised checklist.
1. Choose your business structure
Sole Proprietorship
Low cost, but unlimited liability. Limited credibility for foreign clients.
Private Limited Company
Recommended for IT exports. Limited liability, PSEB eligibility, tax exemptions.
LLP
Partnership with limited liability, fewer compliance requirements.
💡 Pro tip: Most IT companies choose Private Limited – it’s the golden ticket for PSEB registration and export incentives. Ask us why →
2. SECP incorporation (Companies Act 2017)
You’ll need these documents ready:
- 3 proposed company names
- CNIC copies of all directors (minimum 2)
- Registered office proof (rental agreement / utility bill)
- Memorandum & Articles (digital templates available)
Time: 3‑5 working days after online filing.

3. FBR registration – NTN & Sales Tax
After SECP, you must obtain NTN (National Tax Number) via IRIS portal. If you plan to export software, you can register for sales tax (zero‑rated) to claim input tax credits.
| Registration | When needed |
|---|---|
| NTN | Mandatory for all companies (free) |
| Sales Tax | If annual turnover > PKR 10M or voluntary for input adjustment |
| Withholding Agent | Automatic for companies; monthly filing required |
We help you complete the IRIS forms in 15 minutes. Email us for a guided walkthrough.

This is where you unlock tax exemptions. PSEB registered companies enjoy:
- ✅ 100% income tax exemption on IT exports (till 2026 & extendable)
- ✅ 100% retention in foreign currency accounts
- ✅ Government subsidies for international exhibitions
Documents: SECP cert, NTN, premises proof, company profile.
Fee: PKR 5,000 (startups) / PKR 10,000 (others).
