The Balochistan Revenue Authority has issued new orders for marriage halls and event service providers across the province.

Authorities have directed all businesses related to wedding and event services to register with the Balochistan Revenue Authority and comply with provincial tax laws.

The order applies to several types of event businesses, including marriage halls, event lawns, shamiana setups, decoration services, and other facilities used for weddings and gatherings.

Officials said all such businesses must complete their registration with the authority and start fulfilling their tax obligations under provincial regulations.

The directive has been issued under the Balochistan Sales Tax on Services Act 2015, which requires services related to wedding and event arrangements to pay provincial sales tax.

According to the authority, a tax rate has been fixed at Rs10,000 per event or 2% of the total service fee, whichever amount is higher.

Authorities have urged marriage hall owners and event service providers to strictly follow the new rules.

Officials said proper tax compliance will help strengthen provincial revenue and support development projects in Balochistan.
