FBR E-Invoice
FBR’s New E‑Invoicing Requirement: A Complete Guide.
On April 22, 2025, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) issued S.R.O. 709(I)/2025, mandating all corporate taxpayers in Pakistan to switch from paper or PDF invoices to digital (electronic) invoicing as of May 1, 2025. This change is designed to boost transparency, speed up tax collection, and curb fraud.
Who Must Comply?.
Private limited companies
Public limited companies
Partnership firms subjected to corporate tax
Any business that issues sales tax–bearing invoices
If you register sales, services, or both under FBR rules, this mandate applies to you.
What Actions Are Required?
Register on the FBR Digital Invoicing Portal (IRIS)
Create your account at fbr.gov.pk/di.
Verify your NTN/GST against your business profile.
Integrate Your Software or POS System
Connect via a licensed integrator or directly through PRAL (Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited).
Ensure every invoice is signed and recorded on FBR servers in real time.
Issue E‑Invoices from May 1, 2025
Stop issuing legacy paper/PDF invoices.
Begin sending fully compliant XML/JSON e‑invoices for every sale.
Penalties for Non‑Compliance.
Failure to register and integrate invites heavy fines and operational disruption:
| Default | Fine | Additional Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Default | Rs. 500,000 | Warning notice |
| 2nd Default | Rs. 1,000,000 | 15 days after 1st notice |
| 3rd Default | Rs. 2,000,000 | 15 days after 2nd notice |
