FBR extends e-invoicing deadline by one month for businesses

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has pushed back the deadline for businesses to integrate their systems with the national e-invoicing platform by one month, giving both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers more time to comply.

In a notice issued on Friday, the FBR directed all relevant tax offices — including Large Taxpayers Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayers Offices (MTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) — to inform registered taxpayers about the revised schedule.

Corporate entities now have until June 1, 2025, while non-corporate registered persons must complete the integration by July 1, 2025.

The requirement involves electronically linking invoicing systems with the FBR’s centralised platform, either through a licensed integrator or the Pakistan Revenue Automation Ltd (PRAL), as outlined under Rule 150Q of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006.

Previously, the deadline for corporate taxpayers was May 1, 2025, and for non-corporate taxpayers June 1, 2025.

The extension has been granted under Section 74 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, amid ongoing efforts to streamline tax compliance and enhance digital oversight of sales transactions.
