ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has extended the deadline for mandatory integration with its Digital E-Invoicing System due to slower-than-expected compliance and enforcement challenges.

Previously scheduled to begin on August 1, 2025, the phased rollout will now follow a staggered schedule, starting October 15 and continuing through December 31, 2025, as per SRO 1852 of 2025.

Despite repeated reminders, a significant number of registered entities have not yet integrated their invoicing systems with FBR’s electronic monitoring platform. The urgency for compliance increased after a recent enforcement action in Islamabad.

New Compliance Deadlines

Under the notification, all sales tax registered entities are required to complete registration, testing, and live issuance of e-invoices through licensed integrators or PRAL:

• Public companies and all importers
  • Registration: by Oct 15, 2025
  • Testing: by Oct 25, 2025
  • Live e-invoicing: by Nov 1, 2025
• Companies with turnover exceeding Rs. 1 billion (declared in sales tax returns for the last 12 months)
  • Registration: by Oct 15, 2025
  • Testing: by Oct 25, 2025
  • Live e-invoicing: by Nov 1, 2025

The phased rollout will cover all other specified entities by December 31, 2025.

The move is part of FBR’s digital enforcement strategy aimed at enhancing sales tax documentation, curbing tax evasion, and strengthening revenue collection.
