The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a one-month extension for corporate and non-corporate taxpayers to comply with the electronic invoicing system.

According to the revised timeline, corporate taxpayers are now required to complete integration by June 1, while non-corporate registered persons have until July 1, 2025.

Previously, the deadlines were May 1, for corporate entities and June 1, for non-corporate individuals.

The extension allows more time for companies and registered individuals to integrate their billing systems with the FBR’s computerized infrastructure.

In a circular issued on Friday, the FBR directed all Chief Commissioners of Inland Revenue including those at the Large Taxpayers Offices (LTOs), Medium Taxpayers Offices (MTOs), Corporate Tax Offices (CTOs), and Regional Tax Offices (RTOs), to ensure smooth implementation of the electronic integration process.

The move applies to all registered entities required to generate and transmit e-invoices by connecting their hardware and software systems to the customs’ digital platform.

This integration is mandatory under Rule 150Q of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006.

This extension has been granted under Section 74 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, providing additional time to businesses for compliance. The integration can be carried out through a licensed integrator or the Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL).

The FBR has emphasized that electronic invoicing is a key step toward improving tax compliance and transparency in the country’s sales tax system.
