Pakistani tax officials said they arrested two executives employed by a local arm of computer giant Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -1.47% on suspicion of corporate tax evasion.

Arrests are a preliminary step in Pakistani legal proceedings. The two were detained following a raid on offices of a large Pakistani computer seller that found records that allegedly indicated equipment wasn’t properly taxed.

The officials indicated the tax evasion accusations could be expanded after further investigation. They said many of the allegedly untaxed goods could not have been brought into Pakistan without the knowledge of customs authorities.

Tanveer Malik, director of intelligence and investigation for the country’s Federal Board of Revenue, said Shahid Ali Khan, H-P Pakistan’s country general manager for printing and personal systems, and country controller Salim Rawjani were arrested in Karachi after the agency received “overwhelming evidence” of wrongdoing.
