Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced SRO 69(I)/2025, introducing substantial reforms to the Sales Tax Rules.

This initiative includes the implementation of mandatory e-invoicing, real-time compliance measures, and a well-defined licensing framework for providers of e-invoicing services.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is verifying the obligations of all impacted taxpayers. The submission of an invoice in JSON format is required. The invoice must include a unique code to be embedded within the e-invoice before its submission to the customer. Integration should be conducted through approved software or a certified integrator for alternative systems, including those developed in-house. In the case of online sales, including those conducted through online marketplaces, the integrated entity is required to register the relevant website, software, and mobile application with the Board’s Computerized System to ensure the recording of auto-generated electronic invoices as mandated by the Board through a Sales Tax General Order.

E-invoicing functionality specifications:

  • The new e-Invoicing system applies to all businesses notified by FBR through an official Gazette notification.
  • Businesses must register, install, and integrate their invoicing systems with FBR’s network.

Integration Methods for e-Invoicing

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has established two primary ways businesses connect with the e-invoicing system:

1. Integration through Licensed Service Providers

This approach applies to most businesses requiring integration with the FBR network. Companies must engage a licensed e-invoicing service provider for this integration. The licensed integrator guarantees adherence to compliance standards, ensures system security, and facilitates real-time data transmission.

2. Direct Integration for Online Sales Platforms

E-commerce platforms, online marketplaces, and digital retailers can integrate directly with the FBR. These entities must register their website, software, and mobile applications with the FBR. All invoices are required to be generated and transmitted automatically to the FBR network.
