New Tax Rules in Pakistan: Electronic Invoices Integrated with FBR System
Discover Pakistan’s new FBR tax rules integrating electronic invoices with the system. Learn about sales tax reforms and compliance updates as of August 2025
Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has rolled out significant updates to the Sales Tax Rules, aiming to boost transparency and compliance. As of August 10, 2025, a key change mandates the integration of electronic invoices with the FBR system, revolutionizing tax documentation for businesses.
Under the revised rules, registered manufacturers, importers, distributors, and wholesalers must now report detailed goods transactions via Annex-J and Annex-H1 in their monthly returns.
Additionally, the FBR has empowered commissioners to suspend registrations of those issuing fake invoices or evading taxes, with criteria including non-existent business addresses or failure to file returns for three consecutive months.
This digital shift ensures real-time tracking and curbs tax fraud, aligning with global standards. Businesses are encouraged to adapt to these changes to avoid penalties and support a fairer tax ecosystem.
