Sales Tax Withholding for Daraz Sellers

Sales tax withholding is an amount taken out of your payout and shown as its own line on the statement. It is not a Daraz fee. It is a tax amount collected at the point of payout.

What Did We Observe?

On real weekly statements we studied, the sales tax withheld was about 1.9 to 2.0 percent of item price. Treat that as an estimate from those statements, not a legal rate. Rates, rules and your own situation can differ, so check your statement and FBR guidance. We do not give tax advice.

Worked Example

Example: Store A sells an item at Rs 1,000. At an observed 1.95 percent, the sales tax withheld would be about Rs 19.50, and your payout is reduced by that amount along with the other lines.

Because the line is a percentage of item price, it grows with every sale and shrinks with every return reversal. Over a month it adds up to a sum worth tracking separately, so your accountant can match it against what was withheld.

Common Mistakes

• Treating the observed range as the official rate.
• Mixing it up with the income tax withholding line, which is separate.
• Leaving it out of profit estimates and overstating cash received.
