Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced an extension for mandatory e‑invoicing integration under the Sales Tax Rules. Corporate taxpayers now have until June 1, 2025, to connect their invoicing systems with the FBR’s computerized platform via licensed integrators or PRAL. Non‑corporate registered persons have been granted an extra month, with their new deadline set at July 1, 2025.

This decision follows initial deadlines of May 1 and June 1, which many businesses were unable to meet due to technical and operational challenges. The extension aims to facilitate a smoother transition to the FBR’s real-time digital invoicing system, improve compliance rates, and minimize disruptions. It reinforces the government’s broader strategy to enhance tax transparency, reduce evasion, and modernize Pakistan’s tax infrastructure.

Businesses are urged to complete their e‑invoicing integration promptly to avoid penalties and ensure operational continuity. This extension offers vital breathing room as Pakistan moves toward a more transparent and technology-driven tax environment.
