The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a further extension in the deadline for registered businesses to complete their sales tax integration with the Board’s computerized system. This integration is mandatory under Rule 150Q of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006 and is a key requirement in Pakistan’s ongoing drive toward digital tax compliance.

As per official instructions issued this week, the revised deadlines are as follows:

• Corporate Registered Persons:
  Deadline extended to July 1, 2025
• Non-Corporate Registered Persons:
  Deadline extended to August 1, 2025

According to the FBR, these extensions aim to facilitate ease of compliance and give retailers & corporate taxpayers more time to adopt digital invoicing and electronic payment systems in line with the ongoing e-governance and documentation drive.

⚠️ Missed deadlines can lead to penalties — see FBR’s penalty structure here.

The FBR has exercised its powers under Section 74 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 to revise these deadlines, giving taxpayers additional time to complete integration via either PRAL or a licensed integrator. The instructions were formally issued to FBR’s field formations on Tuesday to ensure smooth implementation.

All taxpayers falling under these categories are required to:

• Integrate with the FBR’s computerized invoicing system
• Use a licensed integrator or PRAL platform
• Ensure real-time reporting of invoices through approved digital channels

Failure to comply even within the revised timeline may result in fines, penalties, and reversal of input tax claims, as highlighted by FBR’s prior circulars.

These new deadlines offer a limited window for businesses to get compliant and avoid legal consequences. No further extensions have been guaranteed.
