FBR Digital Invoicing, Automated.

FBR digital invoicing (e-invoicing) is Pakistan's system in which sales-tax-registered businesses issue invoices through software integrated with FBR's computerised system. Each invoice is reported to FBR in real time, and FBR returns a unique FBR invoice number and a QR code that must be printed on the invoice. The legal framework is Chapter XIV of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006 (substituted by SRO 69(I)/2025), with rollout dates notified under SRO 709(I)/2025 and later notifications. Read the complete guide.

All corporate and non-corporate sales-tax-registered persons in Pakistan. FBR phased the requirement in by business category, and under SRO 1852(I)/2025 the final category was scheduled to go live by 31 December 2025. FBR's own FAQs say a digital invoice is required for every sale reported in Annexure-C of the sales tax return. See the full timeline.

You face escalating penalties under Section 33 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 — Rs 500,000 for the first default, then Rs 1 million, Rs 2 million and Rs 3 million at 15-day intervals, followed by possible sealing of business premises. Since 1 July 2026, the Finance Act 2026 also lets FBR suspend or blacklist the sales-tax registration of non-integrated businesses, and buyers may be unable to claim input tax on invoices issued outside the system. Estimate your exposure.

Yes — FBR requires registered persons to integrate their POS, ERP or invoicing system through an FBR-licensed integrator.

DInvoice connects to FBR through PRAL's Digital Invoicing API using the security token issued to your business. How PRAL and IRIS fit together.

Three FBR elements, in addition to the normal sales-tax invoice details: the FBR invoice number returned by the system, a QR code (PRAL's specification calls for a Version 2.0, 25×25 QR code printed at 1 × 1 inch) and the FBR Digital Invoicing logo. Buyers can verify the invoice by scanning the QR code with FBR's Tax Asaan app. QR code requirements.
