Company formation
Every figure here comes from the Seventh Schedule to the Companies Act or from the Act itself. Where SECP has not published a position, this says so rather than guessing, because a confident wrong number about a fee is worse than an honest gap.
SECP company registration
The real fee schedule, the sixty-day trap on your reserved name, and the two filings due in the first forty-five days that nobody warns you about.
Choosing a structure
What actually differs between the three, the audit thresholds everyone gets wrong, and the statutory points at which the answer changes.
Partnership firms
Why SECP is the wrong office, what the Registrar of Firms actually wants, and the twenty-partner ceiling that forces incorporation.
Annual compliance
The share money you have thirty days to actually pay, the form due within fifteen days of any change, and when an annual return is not required at all.
Depreciation
Why computer hardware is written off three times faster than general plant, and how failing to withhold can cost you the write-off entirely.
Non-profits
Why a SECP licence gives you no tax relief at all, what the hundred per cent credit actually requires, and the surplus that gets taxed at ten per cent.
Section 42 companies
The SECP licence that has to come before the company, the Rs 150,000 fee, the ninety-day window to incorporate, and the conditions the licence ties you to.
