KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced a 10% withholding tax on marriage halls, with the burden of the tax set to fall on event organizers rather than hall owners.
In a statement released on Friday, Rana Raees, president of the Marriage Hall Association, clarified that the tax will be collected directly from the party organizing the event, separate from the hall’s rental charges. The move is expected to impact event planners, who will be responsible for paying the tax.
