Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has set a deadline of May 1, 2025.

Companies and corporate entities must electronically connect their hardware and software to the customs computerized system to produce and send electronic invoices.

In this context, the FBR released S.R.O. 709 (I)/2025 on Wednesday. Additionally, non-corporate registered individuals have until June 1, 2025, to complete the integration process.

This initiative aims to enable importers, manufacturers, and wholesalers/dealers/distributors of fast-moving consumer goods to connect their electronic invoicing systems with the Federal Board of Revenue's digital invoicing system. Retailers and other businesses are to receive additional licenses for e-invoicing integration.

As per the notification dated April 23, the designated registered individuals are required to electronically connect their hardware and software with the customs computerized system via a license integrator or Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL), and must generate and send electronic invoices effective from the specified date. Starting February 1, 2024, all importers and manufacturers of fast-moving consumer goods, along with wholesalers, dealers, distributors, and wholesaler-cum-retailers involved in the bulk import and wholesale supply of these goods to retailers, will be mandated to transmit sales tax invoices electronically.

Subsequent Actions for Enterprise Businesses subject to this directive must verify their registration classification (corporate or non-corporate). Assess current invoicing systems for alignment with FBR's stipulations. Collaborate with PRAL or authorized integrators to initiate integration before the deadlines—conduct system tests to guarantee the smooth creation and transmission of e-invoices.
