Under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, businesses engaged in the manufacturing, import, export, or sale of taxable goods and services are required to obtain a Sales Tax Registration Number (STRN) from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). This registration allows businesses to charge and collect sales tax, file returns, and claim input tax credits. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, cancellation of tax benefits, and restrictions on business operations.
