The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) of Pakistan has issued a notification extending the previously announced deadlines for mandatory e-invoicing integration with the FBR’s centralized system.
New Extended Deadlines
The revised timeline for compliance is as follows:
-
Corporate registered persons must integrate their systems and begin electronic invoicing by 1 June 2025
-
Non-corporate registered persons must comply by 1 July 2025
The previously announced deadlines were 1 May 2025 for corporate registered persons and 1 June 2025 for non-corporate registered persons, as established through S.R.O. 709(I)/2025 issued on 22 April 2025.
Compliance Requirements
Under the country’s mandate, registered taxpayers must:
-
Connect their invoicing hardware and software with the FBR’s centralized system
-
Integrate through either a licensed integrator approved by the FBR or via Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL)
-
Ensure their systems can generate and transmit electronic invoices in compliance with the Sales Tax Act
This mandate marks a significant step in Pakistan’s tax digitization efforts.
While the extension gives businesses additional time to configure their systems to meet FBR requirements, companies should start preparations immediately to ensure compliance.
