The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has given additional time to the corporate sector, importers, and other registered taxpayers to integrate their systems with the e-invoicing schema of FBR, instead of rushing them to comply earlier.
The SRO.1413(I)/2025 issued on Friday, FBR directed all registered persons, whether public companies, associations of persons, importers, or those registered under other categories, to undertake the following mandatory obligations: completion of the registration and testing of their hardware and software with FBR's computerised system through a licensed integrator or PRAL.
After the integration has been performed, the said taxpayer will be required to issue the electronic invoices as per the deadlines stated below.
Under the new schedule, public companies and firms with an annual turnover exceeding Rs1 billion must register by August 10, 2025; complete testing of their system with FBR by August 25; and issue e-invoices as of September 1. For importers, the timeline has been the same.
For large companies with turnover ranging between Rs100 million and Rs1 billion, the deadline for registration is September 10, the testing deadline is September 30, and e-invoicing is as of October 1.
For smaller corporations or companies with turnover not exceeding Rs100 million, the deadline for registration is October 10, and e-invoicing as of November 1.
The FBR also set timelines for individuals and associations of persons earning over Rs100 million annually, they must register by September 10, test by September 30, and issue invoices from October 1.
All other non‑corporate taxpayers must register by November 10 and start issuing invoices by December 1, 2025.
