ISLAMABAD:
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has extended the deadline for integrating invoicing and sales transaction software with its central system, providing additional time to both corporate and non-corporate sectors.
Corporate sector taxpayers are now required to connect their software with the FBR system by July 1, 2025.
Non-corporate registered taxpayers have been given an extended deadline until August 1, 2025, allowing more time for compliance.
Deadline Extension for Smooth Transition
This extension comes as a relief for many businesses, especially those facing technical or financial challenges in adapting to the digital system.
It aims to reduce disruptions and ensure a smoother transition to real-time sales reporting.
The integration is mandatory and must be carried out through Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL) or any other FBR-licensed technology provider.
This will enable automatic reporting of sales data, helping enhance tax transparency and enforcement.
Mandatory Integration with Licensed Providers
All relevant entities must ensure their invoicing systems are compliant with the FBR’s updated integration protocol.
The move is part of a broader effort to digitize the tax infrastructure, minimize tax evasion, and increase the efficiency of the country’s tax system.
FBR has urged businesses to complete the process within the new timelines to avoid penalties.
Support and guidance will be provided through the FBR’s online platforms and helpdesks.
